About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

What would happen if you were cycling to the office and just kept on pedalling?

Needing a change, Mike Carter did just that. Following the Thames to the sea he embarked on an epic 5,000-mile ride around the entire British coastline—the equivalent of London to Calcutta.

He encountered drunken priests, drag queens and gnome sanctuaries. He met fellow travellers and people building for a different type of future. He also found a spirit of unbelievable kindness and generosity that convinced him that Britain is anything but broken. This is the inspiring and very funny tale of the five months Mike spent cycling the byways of the nation.

Excellent and Inspiring

Beautifully written and read. I could picture so many of the places through which Mike travelled yet had witnessed none but a few astride a bike. Bravo and ride on.

Good story.

I could probably give this 5 stars but I was hoping for more about the details of the cycling. My misunderstanding and not the authors failing.
