About the Author

Tim Travis has been everything from a bicycle mechanic to a Special Education Teacher with a Masters degree. Cindie Travis worked as a geologist prior to the start of their epic adventures. Tim started riding bicycles in the mid-1970’s with a Campy five-speed bike, wool shorts and one of those funny leather helmets that cyclists wore back then. The bicycle racing movie, Breaking Away, hit the theaters and he quickly fell into racing. He was immersed in racing until he graduated from Indiana University in 1991 with a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education. Cindie rode a bike during college and started riding again when she met Tim. They did one of their first tours on their honeymoon and Cindie was hooked on bicycle touring ever since. Tim enjoys spending his days living international bike touring adventures and nights writing about them in his tent. Cindie loves the simplicity and challenge of life on the road.

Editorial Reviews

This book makes for easy reading and excitement on every page. I look forward to this couple's next adventure and being able to read all about their travels by bike in other parts of the world.

I read the first book before it was on Amazon. Loved it. I just finished this book Down The Road In South America. . . Fantastic. I admire the courage it takes to live out your dreams no matter what other people think and be down to earth about it. If you dream of taking an adventure at some point in your life, read about this one. You'll want to get down the road yourself!!
