I won this in a giveaway. Lots of colorful photos with a great presentation makes this a very pleasurable read. Thanks to the authors for sharing this part of their life with me. ( )

I enjoyed reading this book. I liked how Tim and Debbie both tell their side of the story. I really liked reading our their adventures and also seeing the pictures through out the book of their trip. ( )

I absolutely loved this memoir. Inspirational in a real way! This couple , after each almost write off the idea of finding "the one", meet online and begin with a long distance relationship. They have a short engagement and for their honeymoon decide to travel across the country coast to coast on their bicycles. Through trials and sometimes painful (saddlesores) near medical emergencies they begin their married life in a most extraordinary way. Through their shared love of the Lord and their great determination their story is one of inspiration, love and life.

A must read!

I received this ebook through LibraryThing giveaway for my honest review which I have given here. ( )

Two are better contains two remarkable stories. In the first part you'll meet Tim and Debbie Bishop, both having a active social life, trust in God, work and cycling as hobby, but without a spouse until they met each other in their early fifties. In only 10 weeks, they moved from marriage proposal and wedding, to Tim's retirement and relocation, to embarking on a cycling adventure of a lifetime.
Enter part two: a tour from the Pacific Ocean in Oregon, Portland all the way to toe tipping the Atlantic Ocean.53 riding days, 15 states and Canada, 3.529 miles, 67 miles per day, and 100,003 feet of elevation. Struggles with their bikes, the weather, sore butts, intense heat and steep ups and downs in both the Rockies and the Appalachians. Blue and dark skies, Tornado Alley, Adventure Cycling Maps and a constant rescheduling of the days ahead. Will a summer break be long enough to end up at the East Coast? Both Tim and Debbie wrote parts of their stories, both the adventurous side, awkward moments and sharing from past addictions which are overcome. As newlyweds they had a wonderful opportunity to learn to know each other in good and bad times. Despite warnings upfront their marriage came out stronger after crossing the US on their bicycles. Different landscapes in the various states are painted with words, and illustrated with pictures taken along their ride of a lifetime.
Two are better is a story of hope, the possibility of a simpler life, and love as true bonding factor for sustainable relationships ( )

Tim and Debbie Bishop take a bicycle trip across the country after they marry one another. But neither is young, nor have they been married before or ever taken a marathon bike trek as this one. This is their travelogue of their journey and adventure as they embark into life together.

I enjoy bike riding and always envisioned myself taking a trip across the country and was excited about riding this book. But this story was too short, not descriptive enough, relied heavily on Tim’s take of their trip and their devotion to God. Although it was an interesting read, I would have enjoyed reading more about the places they went, the people they met and advise for other travelers how would want to do the same. ( )
