Tuesday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m. – Herb Kavet: “REMOTE AND EXCITING TRAVEL BY BICYCLE”
You can’t see the world from the window of an air conditioned bus. Not really. Biking provides more intimate contact. You can easily meet the local people, whether primitive or sophisticated, because you are traveling in such an unthreatening and often locally acceptable manner. I’ll be talking about adventures and encounters mostly in Third World countries.
Herb Kavet graduated MIT in 1958 as an engineer but spent most of his life as an entrepreneur and writer. He wrote hundreds of short humor books which his wife likes to describe as being of questionable taste. Still, all got published mainly because he owned the publishing company. Currently retired at 80, he skis all winter, bikes all summer and plays with his grandchildren in between.
