A 1960s-child about to turn 60 travels solo* 10,000 miles/16,100 kilometers via bike, buses, trains and WWOOFing (working on organic farms) in search of hope in a country-at-a-crossroads and world-in-crisis during the hottest year on Earth. What she finds out about the country - and herself- could change both of their futures. And maybe even yours. Fast-paced, funny and philosophical - including a repurposed tobacco farm in North Carolina; an eco-spirituality alpaca ranch run by the Dominican Sisters of Peace in America's heartland; a homestead in Boulder, Colorado; a Krishna Temple with the largest llama rental herd in Utah; a lavender farm (and yet more llamas!) in the High Desert of California; and face-to-face with every climate threat you can imagine - Round America with a Duck is the Eat Pray Quack story you didn't know you've been craving. It's the right journey at the right time, shared with wit, dignity and joy - needed now more than ever.*well, with a duck

Wanna feel like a kid again? You can, you know. All it takes is a time machine called a bike, and an inspiring true story that moves you to action. Traveling at the Speed of Bike tickles your memories alive and then gives a rubber-hits-the-road account of what happens for a woman and a country at a crossroads when a beloved bike comes down from the attic. It may make you rethink what is possible with pedal power at any age, in any place. Perhaps it will even help move municipalities toward greater action in providing safe-access-for-all sooner rather than later. Or maybe this book will simply serve to remind you of your purpose and passion (whatever it may be), and to trust the journey.A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book helps enable more women and girls to ride bikes.
