Summary
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.

Inspiring listen
As a single mother, I can only listen and wish I could have this sort of adventure myself. Makes you think differently about life and long for more.

A great listen
I absolutely loved this audiobook. I am not a cyclist, but Mike’s energy and enthusiasm make it an addictive listen. Beautifully told and wonderfully descriptive.
