Wow.

I ordered a copy of the book off Amazon. It'll be interesting to read this over the winter; this is what we do when you Cali peeps are still out riding! She sounds like the Amelia Earhart of the bicycle world; too bad she didn't live longer...

I did the same, Brant.
I ordered mine off eBay. It only cost $17.00 shipped.
After reading the excerpt, and looking at the pictures a little closer, im thinking the bike she made her return on was a Schwinn Tourist Paramount model very similar to the 1950 model that I picked up this year.
That must have been a huge improvement over the balloon tire DX model Schwinn that she started with.

I got my used off Ebay for $1.00 + $3.75 shipping. Upon opening it, I discovered it was signed by the author, Norma Jean Belloff's daughter, Iris Paris!
Got lucky!

My copy just arrived in the mail.
I think this will be an interesting read.
