This guy made touring his life, once he got out of the operating room (a surgeon). Get this book if you can find it, a wonderful read. Stories about escaping the Germans on his bike during the Battle of the Bulge; wonderful characters he's met like some old fella he knew back in '48 who used to ride an 83" fixed gear up the Mt. Palomar highway; his experience as one of the first Western cyclists to do China right after Nixon made his trip; stuff like this.
