Author: Martijn Doorlard & Gestalten
One man, one bike, one long ride: the adventure, the pleasure and the pain. One Year on a Bike is simultaneously a travelogue and visual journey. Martijn Doolaard traded the convenience of a car and the distractions of daily life for a cross-continental cycling journey: a biped adventure that would take him from Amsterdam to Singapore. Leaving behind repetitive routines, it indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling.Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture and community in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible alongside the passionate curiosities that served as his impetus.
ISBN 9783899559064. Die Gestalten Verlag. hb. 376 pages. full colour, 24 x 32 cm.
