Around the world on a bicycle through Teheran and beyond is a vivid travel episode that mixes street-level scenes with a rider’s steady pace. The journey captures busy markets, ramparts, and everyday life in a city where ancient paths meet modern curiosity.
Two short paragraphs frame what you’ll experience: a narrator cycling along historic walls, savoring local tea and foods, and observing how locals greet a foreign rider. You’ll also glimpse the architecture, gates, and skyline that define Teheran, plus the bustling activity of caravans, mosques, and government grounds. The book preserves a snapshot of the era’s scenes, moods, and small adventures without overspeculating on outcomes.
- A twelve‑mile circuit around Teheran’s ramparts, passing through eight gates and along the city walls
- Close interactions with Afghan attendants, local shepherds, and curious townspeople amid market streets and public squares
- Rich detail on landmarks, gates, gardens, and the English Legation’s grounds, plus glimpses of caravans and street life
- Observations of daily rituals, clothing, and the atmosphere of a capital at the crossroads of old routes and new travel
Ideal for readers who enjoy travel writing, early bicycle journeys, and vivid, on-the-ground portraits of historic cities.
