Description
Frustrated by the shallow headlines focusing only on Trump, guns and divisions, award-winning travel writer Simon Parker decided that to better understand the USA, he would have to travel right across it, slowly. Did the America of his teenage dreams really exist? Or was it really as fractured as the headlines suggest? On his journey to find out Simon cycled 4,327 miles through eleven states and extreme weather events; via mountains and prairie lands, forests and freeways, he visited homes, schools, churches, rodeos and cookouts, meeting hundreds of (extra) ordinary Americans behind the click-bait news posts to discover a nation whose portrayal has become vastly over-simplified. A fascinating - and frequently funny - tale of one man cycling the breadth of America.
