EN - Description: Patrice and Françoise Ryder set off on a tandem journey around the world on October 4, 1978. They say goodbye to their family in Paris, on the Champs-Élysées, and begin pedaling eastward. They cross Switzerland, northern Italy, and head down the Yugoslav coast, but mechanical issues and bad weather force them to stop in Dubrovnik for Christmas. From there, they decide to take a ferry to Greece to avoid the snow in Montenegro. They pass through Corfu, reach Athens, and then fly to Israel. Unable to cross Jordan, Iraq, and Iran due to political reasons, they fly to Cyprus and then on to Pakistan. In Karachi, a new chapter of their journey begins: Asia. From Lahore, they cycle to New Delhi and, on September 22, 1979, they cross the Himalayas to enter Nepal. They reach Kathmandu and later fly to Bangkok. After a second trip through Thailand, they continue by bike toward the Cambodian border, but the Khmer Rouge crisis forces them to change course. They head south and, in June 1980, enter Malaysia and then Singapore. They fly to Darwin, Australia, to begin a new leg of the journey: crossing the continent from north to south while raising funds for charity. They sleep in the bush, marvel at the endless Australian landscapes and the country’s natural beauty. The article published in 1981 in the Australian magazine Trochos reflects on their journey after 900 days on the road and 18'300 kilometers traveled

Walking is falling forward. Each step we take is an arrested plunge, a collapse averted, a disaster braked. In this way, to walk becomes an act of faith.

The boldness and courage that Thomas Allen and William Sachtleben display in this book is impressive. On June 14, 1890, just one day after they graduated from Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri, they set out on a record -breaking journey around the world. As they put it, they did it hoping to add practical experience to the book knowledge they had acquired in college.

- Description: Zara Kathleen Samuel, who would later be known as Billie Samuel (nee Kesper), marked her place in history as a pioneering American-born Australian cyclist. Born on March 24, 1907, and passing on January 15, 1995, Samuel's contributions to cycling are both notable and inspiring. In 1934, she shattered societal expectations and physical challenges by becoming the first woman to cycle from Melbourne to Sydney, a feat that was unheard of at the time for women. Her determination and skill were further underscored on her return journey, where she broke the women's world record for the fastest ride from Sydney to Melbourne, a record previously held by Elsa Barbour
