As if riding on a tandem pushbike 4000km across Australia wasn't enough of a challenge for a blind person, Brisbane-based Lorin Nicholson has now tackled the world of publishing and has written his first children's book. What makes 'The Amazing Bike Ride' such a great read is it's the real life account of the seemingly impossible ride Lorin undertook as a 16-year-old school student from Tamworth to Port Macquarie.
In just three days, he rode his trusty old mountain bike solo 275km across some of the steepest mountains in Australia - the Great Dividing Range - and at the time, he had less than 10 per cent sight. This courageous story has been told thousands of times by Lorin as part of the motivational presentations he makes to school students and to corporate gatherings across Australia - and around the world.
Authoring 'The Amazing Bike Ride' was a natural progression, considering at the time, Lorin was planning another extraordinary bike adventure across Australia - and that has just been achieved. You will be captivated and inspired by this incredible true story. Who knows? Reading it could even change your life.
