Description
Advance Praise
"Davis’s comics have an immediacy that pulls the reader in. That even these on-the-go comics demonstrate her mastery of line and shape is testament to how superb a cartoonist she is." — The Guardian
"You and a Bike and a Road is a lovely, slow book about going on a journey — not an epic, world-dominating circumnavigation, but something quieter and more intimate." — The New York Review of Books
"You and a Bike and a Road is Eleanor Davis’ personal exploration of roadside America, US immigration politics, and the autobiographical comics form." — PopMatters
"[You and a Bike and a Road is] done in beautiful and simple graphite illustration, and captures day-to-day moments touching on border patrol and racism, mental and physical health, and the kindness of strangers." — Entropy
"Sometimes, it’s the small things that count, and Davis’ travelogue of a cycle trip between states — from her parents house back home, off-road and by bicycle — is a celebration of that impulse, focusing on the tiny triumphs (The kindness of strangers, the surprise of riding further than expected on a given day) and the frailties of us all in such a way as to turn a specific experience into something universal, and charmingly heartwarming." — The Hollywood Reporter
"Ultimately, Eleanor Davis gives us a quiet reminder that women can execute big plans for themselves, push their physical limits, and come back home to their perfectly unconventional lives. This feels like a big deal in the midst of the exhausting, continuing political debates that afford us less agency than most children." — Women Write About Comics
"Everything Davis put out in this decade demands attention, but her personal connection to You and a Bike and a Road sets it apart." — The A.V. Club
"Full of hope and anxiety and the desire to grind the badness out of your own head by brute force, You and a Bike and a Road is a testament to the human spirit." — Solrad
