You & a Bike & a Road by Eleanor Davis
5.0

I was following along as Eleanor Davis posted some of these comics on instagram, but it's so nice to sit down and read them all in one volume and with some of the gaps fill in. Davis has been one of my favorite comics authors for years and I am impressed by and also disbelieving of her decision to ride a bike from Tuscon, Arizona to Atlanta, Georgia. This book chronicles roads taken, strangers met, camping under freeway overpasses, stress, depression, knee pain, kindness, indecision, natural beauty and the constant presence of Border Patrol helicopters. All of this captured in Davis' wonderfully unique line, a way of seeing and recording the world which I find utterly captivating.
