Stevens wrote an account of his journey entitled Around the World by Bicycle. It is a 1000 page, two volume document of the man's travels.
Volume 1 takes us across America from San Francisco to New York then by boat to England. Here he cycles down from Liverpool to Newhaven on the South coast via Berkhamsted and past my window!
From Newhaven he steams across the English Channel to Dieppe in France and continues through Europe to Turkey and Persia, finishing in Teheran.
Having now read this volume I am going through it again plotting every place he visited on a Google map.
It's quite time consuming but it really helps you get to know the places and his experiences.
If you would like to read the book for yourself you can download it digitally for free or read it online at the links below.
Vol 1. Vol 2.
Both volumes have recently been re-printed as one book, which includes some beautiful sketches of his travels that really take you back to a time of true adventure. Buying it from Amazon using the links below will help to fund my adventure.
