Written by A. W. Stripling, Jr. Edits by Beverly Simmons Cover Design by Jeannie Ruiz Since the time of Aristotle, political philosophers have noted that those who live in cities have a different sensibility than those who live in the countryside. The Cyclist Gabriel was born into a country family to a father who wanted a better life for his son than his country community offered. Over five years, he put a plan in motion that placed Gabriel in the top boys' school in the nearby metro area. That is where the story really begins. Living through failure, lies and deceit, Gabriel made his way out into the world, green, but eager. Travel with him as he finds the love of his life, the heartbreak of the path we sometimes have to choose, and the hand of fate playing its final card. Cover Art licensed from anatoliy_gleb

Reviews for The Cyclist: A Love Story for the Ages

Since the time of Aristotle, political philosophers have noted that those who live in cities have a different sensibility than those who live in the countryside. As the suburbs continued to citify and the exurbs died, the difference between the two became more and more pronounced. The Cyclist is about a traveler that bridges the gap between two cultures: city and country, urban and rural. Gabriel's path presents a twisting end that makes The Cyclist a love story for the ages. Enjoy the ride.. J R Ruiz, 2021 Publishing Futures A provocative meditation on family, growth, and our capacity for second chances, The Cyclist: A Love Story for the Ages by A.W. Stripling is a heartfelt novel of leaving home, and the things we leave behind.
