​The Road Spoke: Trepidation and Tranquility on a Bicycle Odyssey

​K. R. Reinke’s The Road Spoke offers readers an opportunity for reflection on how to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life, using his own cross-country bicycle trip as a template. Reinke not only sets out to ride 3,700 miles, but does so as a polio survivor and insulin dependent diabetic. Repeatedly overcoming his own limits, Reinke faces encounters and obstacles on his journey that he uses to give readers access to a joy that’s available at every moment, outside of reactions and unconscious patterns of behavior.

​Reinke deftly weaves spiritual topics and the minutiae of traversing the country until the two are inseparable. And, uniquely, he uses his triumphs and travails as a wellspring for broad, far-reaching reflection that is more than personal. Readers will take away a vision of a different way of living, one that can bring peace in the face of adversity.
