Nobody Rides For Free: A Drifter in the Americas chronicles former bike
courier John Hughes' rambles through Latin America on a bicycle. In this
gripping mosaic-travellogue, readers are introduced to banditos, artists,
grifters, would-be wives, dope fiends and attacking monkeys: a cast of
characters who conspire to reduce him to alcoholic destitution. His last
remaining $400 is spent sailing the Amazon, flying to Miami, and then
hitchhiking across some of the most frightening highways in the United
States with the goal of making it safely home to Vancouver. Throughout his
adventures we learn about con-artistry, fear, and kindness set against the
imposing backdrop of everything we think we know about the Americas. Nobody
Rides For Free sheds light on obscure 1990s road culture while gearing
itself to the needs of anyone with a desire to run from their demons on the
open road.
