In Bike Ride with a Twist sixty-six year old Janice Kenyon offers a comprehensive guide along with the personal story of her 8,321 kilometre bicycle ride across Canada. Her twists of the ride stay north of the U.S. border and avoid the Trans Canada Highway whenever possible.

Bears, bugs, big hills, bike-stopping wind – all notorious obstacles on a cross-Canada bicycle ride! What is lesser known, but often more significant, are Canada’s majestic landscapes, historic footprints, and the unbounded generosity of its people – persistent excitement for an explorer on two wheels! Before I forget - mega thanks to our online friends for advice on best beach cruisers for the Canadian climate as well free cruiser bicycle parts!
