You & a Bike & a Road by Eleanor Davis

5.0

I was looking for a graphic novel to read for my library's winter challenge and happened to see that one of my StoryGraph friends had just finished this book and rated it 5 stars. And boy, am I glad everything lined up for me to find this book! The author portrays bike touring so perfectly - it had me reliving my own bike touring experience. I too have cried most the day while touring, made unexpected friends in strange places, avoided sketchy situations, felt like I wasn't going to make my goal, and laughed maniacally at nothing in particular. A lot happened in the book, and also not much happened at all - and that is 100% bike touring! 

I also love how the bike tour was mirroring a lot of the author's own mental health at the time and loved the overall uplifting feeling that the book gave me. It really is a great reminder that there are some bad people out there, but that generally people are good and kind and willing to help you out <3

I've already recommended this book to three people and only just finished it half an hour ago. Definitely recommend for everyone!
