SPONTANEOUS REVOLUTIONS
Seeing America One Pedal at a Time
An extraordinary bicycle adventure.
Spontaneous Revolutions: Seeing America One Pedal at a Time is the story of a middle-aged couples’ spur-of-the-moment bicycle journey across the country. These two out-of-shape, inexperienced cyclists rode from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine. It took four (sometimes) grueling months. Being overweight and over 50 was one thing. They also knew next to nothing about bikes – didn’t even know how to change a flat tire when they left! And, they chose to travel unplugged.
“I think most of us have thoughts of adventures we would like to have. I know I do. I don’t have a Bucket List, but if I did, a bike ride adventure across the United States would be on it. I am too old to do it now, but low and behold; I did it vicariously via Liza’s wonderfully written book.”
– Bud Clark (from the Foreword to Spontaneous Revolutions: Seeing America One Pedal at a Time)
