Wheels Within Wheels: Autobiography is Irish cyclist and travel writer Dervla Murphy's autobiographical book.[1][2][3] It was first published in 1979 by John Murray,[4] and reprinted by Eland Books in 2010 with the subtitle The Makings of a Traveller.[5]

The book describes the first thirty years of Murphy's life, before the journey described in her first book, Full Tilt. Murphy writes:[6]

I stood at the threshold of an independent life and I felt, that night, my parents’ blessing on it
