3a. Ted Simon; Jupiter’s Travels. Rather like Star Wars, many people haven’t heard of or read Ted Simon. I encourage you to do so; it’s not about the bike per se, it’s the people he meets. https://g.co/kgs/A6THkW ">https://g.co/kgs/A6THk...
3b. Ted Simon again. He repeated his journey many years later. Dreaming of Jupiter https://g.co/kgs/HWo9TT ">https://g.co/kgs/HWo9T...
4. Lois Pryce. Lois on the Loose.
