Review

“Daryl Farmer lyrically meshes his traveling experiences of 1985 with 2005 in his book. . . . With writing that compares favorably to Paul Theroux, William Least Heat Moon, and John Steinbeck, Farmer assures us that the American spirit hasn''t been completely deflated.”—Lee Gooden, ForeWord (Lee Gooden ForeWord 20080406)

“The book isn’t just bicycle talk. Much to Farmer’s credit—and the fact that he keeps journals—he gives us some historical background of the towns and places he visits. He also shares his personal life and his feelings, such as loneliness, anger and moments of happiness. All in all, it’s a good read for anyone contemplating a long-distance bicycle journey or some other adventure.”—Algis J. Laukaitis, Lincoln Journal Star (Algis J. Laukaitis Lincoln Journal Star 20080412)

"Even if you have no interest in bicycling, if you haven''t ridden one in years and have no intention of getting it out now that the weather is warmer, ride along with Daryl Farmer to learn more about living."—Duncan R. Jamieson, Sports Literature Association (Duncan R. Jamieson Sports Literature Association 20070713)

"Farmer succeeds in finishing an epic adventure, and a fine book."—Don Scheese, Western American Literature (Don Scheese Western American Literature 20070713)

“Bicycling beyond the Divide did what all great books do: it told me about me. In its tale of a journey made by two different men—both of them Daryl Farmer—this book offers us not only moving vistas and meaningful people, but also hope, that rarest of literary commodities these days. I didn''t want this to end.”—Bret Lott, author of Jewel (Bret Lott )

“In this wise and funny book about biking our American West, Daryl Farmer journeys across miles and through memory to self-discovery, and it''s our good fortune to come along—without expending nearly so many calories.”—Gregory Martin, author of Mountain City (Gregory Martin )
