Synopses & Reviews
This unlikely story of a man riding a unicycle across America reveals an adventurous soul in search of his country and himself. Lars Clausen tells of his record-breaking 50-state unicycle trip from the West Coast to the Statue of Liberty and back again. He describes his trek through a Mojave dust storm, past snow-capped Montana mountains, and close to a raging hurricane. This inspiring journey into the heart of America celebrates the hospitality of everyday people, reveals the splendor of out-of-the-way places, and explores Native American lands from coast to coast.
Review
"Few things are more precious than a poet on the road. Rising from these white lines of the American highway are both the passions of an adventurer, and the riches of his culture. Would that all of our traveling companions be so beautifully inspired." (-Gary Ferguson, NPR contributor and author, Hawk's Rest)
