A bicycle, a continent, and the open road.

In the summer of 1984, Jim Travisano set out from Greece with little more than a touring bike, a few maps, and a restless spirit. Over 4,000 miles later, he rolled into Ireland -- forever changed by the landscapes, the strangers who became friends, and the lessons of slow travel.

The Long and Winding Road is a vivid bicycle travel memoir that captures the freedom, humor, and humanity of crossing Europe by bike before GPS and cell phones. From the sun-baked mountains of Crete to the misty hills of Ireland, Jim's journey blends adventure with reflection -- offering both a snapshot of 1980s Europe and timeless insight into resilience, simplicity, and the kindness of strangers.

Perfect for fans of travel writing, cycling adventures, and memoirs of the open road, this book is more than a ride -- it's a reminder that the best journeys are measured not in miles, but in moments.
