This book explores the understanding, description, and measurement of the physical, sensory, social, and emotional features of motorcycle and bicycle journey experiences in tourism. Novel insights are presented from an original case study of these forms of tourism in the Sella Pass, a panoramic road close to the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. A comprehensive mixed-methods strategy was employed for this research, with concurrent use of quantitative and qualitative methods including documentation and secondary data analysis, mobile video ethnography, and emotion measurement. The aim was to create a holistic knowledge of the features of journey experiences and a new definition of the mobility space as a perceptual space. The book is significant in that it is among the first studies to explore the concept of journey experiences and to develop an interdisciplinary theoretical foundation of mobility spaces. It offers a comprehensive understanding and a benchmarking of the features of motorcycling and cycling journey experiences, a deeper market knowledge on motorcycling and cycling tourists, and a set of tools, techniques, and recommendations for future research on tourist experiences.

Tales from South America is a book of adventure, connection, and a lonely personal journey to the ends of the world. Egle, a 28-year old woman from Lithuania, sets out on a 30,000-mile solo motorcycle ride from Peru to Patagonia and back, exploring South America on two wheels. Along the way, as she journeys to the far South, she connects with local people, discovers a different South America and, in the end, a different self. Tales from South America is filled with stories about the everyday life, the weird and wonderful legends, and the extraordinary people of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Colombia. It's also, in a way, an account of a young woman's coming of age, a glimpse into what it was like to be growing up in post-Soviet Lithuania, and a tale of a lone motorcycle adventure across one of the most magical continents on Earth.

Despite the fact that there are around 1.2 million powered two wheelers (PTWs) within the United Kingdom, riders are often misconceived as living at the edge of society; however, this is often far from the truth. Riding a PTW is a high-risk activity and those who ride are often perceived as being 'risk junkies', but through an in-depth exploration of this leisure activity, Motorcycling and Leisure explains that riders ride because they enjoy it and do not necessarily enjoy the risk involved. The book presents a range of contemporary research on riders and how they find enjoyment. The book further explores the rider goal of enjoyment and utilises Fuller's task homeostasis theory along with Csikszentmihalyi's theory of flow to develop an understanding of the interaction between risk and goals. In conclusion it develops principles of interventions with the aim of guiding intervention design and reducing the number of motorcycle crashes.
