Description
Tim Moore embarks on a 9,000km journey along the Iron Curtain Trail on a tiny East German shopping bike, tackling the harsh Arctic winter and the remnants of the Cold War.
As he pedals through 20 countries, Moore reflects on the history of the region, the crumbling of the Communist dream, and the memories of a generation shaped by fear and tension.
With a mix of humor and adventure, Moore chronicles his journey, from the snowbound desolation of Finland to the Black Sea beach in Bulgaria, where he finally reaches the end of his epic ride.
