No Such Thing As A Free Ride - new Canadian hitchhiking book out!
 

In this entertaining volume, filmmakers, politicians, stand-up
comedians, poets, and journalists all come together through the shared
experience of hitching a ride. You'll find Governor General Award-
winner Margaret Avison and American sci-fi novelist Piers Anthony
rubbing shoulders with Blag Dahlia and Ben Bachelder. You'll read of
Jello Biafra's encounter with shoe-eating cows, Alan Dean Foster's
ride on a whale shark, and Kage Baker's hilarious account of actors
broken down on Interstate 5.

Throughout the '60s and '70s - the heyday of hitchhiking - this form
of travel was a key means of transportation. Today, people continue to
hitchhike all over the world. Money never changes hands, but all
manner of social transactions take place. Funny, sad, nostalgic,
sometimes scary, these travelers' tales will open your eyes and take
you back - or forward. Just when you think you've heard it all, turn
the page. You'll discover you haven't!
