Pilgrim Wheels

Reflections of a Cyclist Crossing America

Pilgrim Wheels reveals an inspirational story of journey, discovery, and place, told from the saddle of a bicycle on a journey across America. It’s part one of the two part “Cycling Reflections” series by Hanson, this first book covering the western half of the ride, and the second book (Pilgrim Spokes) covering the eastern half.

More than just a travelogue of a bike ride across the country, Hanson’s delightful and beautifully written story takes the reader on a journey that is engaging and insightful, often hilarious, sometimes poignant, and always inspiring. It’s a must-read adventure that will stir your soul.

“I absolutely loved this book from start to finish! HeÂ captures his experience and finds meaning and purpose in the big things, as well as the simple moments of life. I will keep this book to read again. It will remind me of how beautiful life is, and how much I can learn in each moment.”

~ Christine Watson for Reader Views

“Pilgrim Wheels is a superior production, and does a terrific job of capturing the experience of a cross country bicycle ride using crystal clear descriptions.Â â€¦ Hanson’s ability to carry both bikers and non-bikers along for the ride is part of what makes Pilgrim Wheels such an engrossing read.Â â€¦ a journey story spiced with the appeal of personal observation blended with philosophical reflectionâ€¦Â Descriptions are powerfully written and offer readers a compelling ‘you are there’ feel that captivates the reader regardless of his or her level of knowledge about bicycling or bicycle touringâ€¦”
