A wonderful, witty and informative narrative about a country I knew little about until after I read this book. ( ) I thought this was one of the best travel books I've ever read. The author weaves in his own journey along with interesting stories about Finland's culture and history. The author also seems particularly skillful at including his own thoughts as he pedals relentlessly north. As a fellow bicycle rider I found this particularly interesting. Finally, there are parts of the book that are simply laugh-out-loud funny. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In the summer of 2007, the author departs on a self-supported bicycle journey across Finland, Lapland and Arctic Norway with the goal of pedaling to the Barents Sea. More than a travelogue, Riding with Reindeer intersperses an often humorous narrative about the author's adventures (he gets trapped in a woman's shower in one remote village) with rich cultural and historical anecdotes, while providing insight into the soul of a region whose honest and resourceful, yet often taciturn, citizens are always willing to lend a helping hand to the stranger on the little blue folding bicycle.
