    5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone that enjoys adventure and technology

    I'm not really much of a techy but I loved Steve's bicycle adventure and innovative lifestyle he pioneered. The book is a must for anyone interested in Technomads.

    2.0 out of 5 stars 10,000 miles and, as best I can tell, he's still lost.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2024
    Sometimes I get this crazy dream, that I just take off in my car,
    But you can travel on 10,000 miles, and still stay where you are.
    —Harry Chapin

    I read this book around 1994, after seeing a short piece in Whole Earth Review, and seeing Steve on TV (Phil Donahue, if my memory is right). On finishing it, I felt a vague sense of disappointment setting in. I pondered what Steve had left after all this travel. Any new insights? Any new, lasting relationships? Did he "find himself"? When he came back to more conventional life, did anything look really different?

    Somebody spent a lot of money and time on some high-tech nomadism. Did Steve, or anyone associated, have an expectation of what might result from all this effort? The silence on this subject is deafening, although the one other critical review I see here seems to describe very similar impressions.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A neat flashback to the late 70's
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2003
    I bought this book (signed by the author) at the 1987 Comdex, and just finished re-reading it. Although it is a bit heavy on Steven's encounters with *lots* of young ladies during his 10,000 mile bike ride, it is interesting and enjoyable to read.
    One interesting aspect is the technology of his computer on his bike --- a very far cry from today's *very* powerfull computers!
    If you like technology and adventure, you probably will enjoy this book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Absent dad documents cross-country bike babe-bangin' adventure
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017
    Well written, but the guy is obviously pretty sold on himself. Fascinating descriptions of mechanical and electronic problem solving. Toxic narcissism/sex addiction warning: he pretty much completely abdicates any responsibility for raising his baby daughter in favor of touring the country's college campuses and research centers on his amazing recumbent bike and banging as many college (well, any) girls as his magical vehicle's attention can draw, tallying the action as he goes. One may imagine his now grown daughter's delight at reading what pops was up to as she was passing her various developmental milestones without him. I checked out his current website for his electronic nomadic boat and I guess that's why you don't see a lot of "my daughter came for a visit" blog entries on it. He installed this really bitchin' bidet toilet, though!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Chive on, you crazy bike nerd!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2014
    I saw this book on The Chive and looked on here to see if it was a real book.
    Low and behold, it sure is! Thanks Chive!
    Which reminds me... What are the origins of the term, "low and behold"? It seems like a reference to my genatalia but then that would be "low and be held". Hmmmm... The mystery continues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Amazing
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 1999
    Imagine being so fed up with the day to day activities of a ho-hum suburban life, a typical job, a typical car, etc. that one day you decide to cash it all in......for a bike!! And dump your fiance while you're at it.
    Steven Roberts did just this. Sold the house, cars, quit his job to begin his long (and true) trek across the United States. Armed with a CB, a sattelite uplink, a laptop computer, and other high tech gadgets (circa late 1980's) he writes about his journeys in a fascinating manner. This is what MTV's Road Rules is....for adults. What is amazing is the people he meets along the way, the sites he sees, the trials and tribulation of finding water and getting a flat tire. I can't give enough praise for this book, and would love to read anotehr one if he has one.
