Pasta Punctures & Perseverence!: Diaries of Cycling Adventures
ISBN: 9781504988087 / Angielski / Miękka / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why cycle fast when you can cycle slowly, (often very slowly, as dictated by terrain, topography and the weather).

Howard adopted Tilmans attitude as he adventured, over many years, across the world on two self-propelled wheels, that incredibly efficient machine for personal transport - a bicycle! Born affected by cerebral palsy, it was through the therapeutic effects of much massage and manipulations of his limbs that, by the age of 3, his legs had...
