Four and a Half Months Plus Four Bicycles Tour

Cedar Rapids student Jim Holmes, 24, rode 12 countries in four and a half months on four bicycles, mostly alone, to probe Europe's political minds and sights. He faced language barriers, a Prague incident with Communist police, visa hurdles, and varied living costs from England to Italy and Switzerland, ending with reflections on European optimism and a call for a common currency and postal system.
