He basically transcribed and edited his journals from 7plus years riding his bike all around the world. Hard to say any details without spoiling the story. I simply had a mind journey while reading Dave´s book and have now been bicycling every day and just rode 100 miles across central washington to prepare for my own adventure. Beware: this book is infectious! In a very good way!
I can´t reccomend it enough. A friend lent it to me so now i have to find my own copy to lend out to my friends!. And summed up by saying a great read, burning with reality, the good,the bad, the ugly.. Currently Odysseus´ Last Stand: The Chronicles of a Bicycle Nomad has an overall rating of 10 over 10.

Sanuk Press claimed Comprised largely of the detailed journals kept throughout his travels, this narrative of a bicyclist´s seven-year, 40,000 kilometer odyssey around the world documents the richness of the planet´s sights, sounds, and teeming life as experienced from the saddle of a bicycle. During his journey, the author experiences firsthand the effect of international politics on media-invisible cultures while mingling with an endless array of unusual and wonderful characters. As he immerses himself in the culture of every country he visits, learning the languages and customs as he travels, he witnesses the clash of values between developed and developing worlds and the inherent tensions between tradition and progress. Throughout, he comes to a deep understanding of the role that the bicycle plays not only in his life but also in the lives of the world´s citizens.
