How can teenagers cope in a social environment where they have to watch every penny they spend? How do they find thrills, challenges and adventure when the threat of a world war is looming? From 1938 to 1942, as they prepared to launch into adult life, Bryan and John toured with friends on their Malvern Star bicycles, camping under the stars, for 3,260 miles (5,246.5km) staying in budget hotels, enjoying the hospitality of country relatives and keeping careful notes for future reference. 87 years later, what will the modern reader think of their adventures in Freewheeling on Malvern Stars : Diary of Young Friends Bicycle Touring in Victoria 1938-1942?
