Recenzii

“If you aren’t already in love with the bicycle and the open road, perhaps this book will pull you into Hackinen’s slipstream.”—Yvonne Blomer, author of Sugar Ride: Cycling From Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur


“Vividly written, telling the authentic story of long-distance cycling — with all its setbacks, obstacles, emotions, craziness, rewards, and weirdness.”—Stefan Barth, author of Ultracycling & Bikepacking – All You Need to Know!, Founder of SBU Coaching


“Witty, insightful, unfiltered, and brutally honest, Meaghan Hackinen opens our eyes to the emotional rollercoaster and perils every ultra-distance cyclist faces. Hackinen takes us along for the ride in this gritty, raw account of her 2017 self-supported race across America. She comes clean about rookie mistakes, self-discovery, hardships, heartache, and the unbreakable bonds forged between fellow riders. This exhilarating read will inspire and resonate with every adventure cycling enthusiast.”—Robert Biron, Salty Beard Bikepacking


“Armchair enthusiasts will appreciate the vibrant writing and glimpses into the daily physical and mental challenges participants endure. Sure to appeal to cyclists and readers who enjoy two-wheeled adventures.” — Brenda Barrera, Booklist


“An inspiring narrative, Shifting Gears details momentous highs, overbearing lows, and the lessons that come with such experiences. Some readers may even feel compelled to hop on a bike and test Hackinen’s theory that cycling can offer self-understanding.” — Miru Yogarajah, Literary Review of Canada


Shifting Gears by Meaghan Marie Hackinen is more than a story about cycling; it is a narrative rich with human emotions, challenges, and triumphs. This is a must-read if you are looking for a book on becoming an endurance cyclist. It is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit and an inspirational read for anyone interested in the interplay between physical endurance and personal growth. Hackinen’s journey encourages readers to contemplate their limitations and inspires to venture beyond them.” — Amy Tucker, The British Columbia Review
