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.

Great adventure, well written and performed
I loved this book. Mike Carter writes well, is funny and honest. I found myself pausing as he was getting close to London because I didn't want it to end. Thanks Mike

I enjoyed the trip!
As an older disabled cyclist (I’ve been riding trikes for over 30 years) I’ve really enjoyed Mike’s vivid descriptions of people and places along the route a lot of which wouldn’t be accessible to me so it’s almost as if I’ve been there. But also picking out stretches I can do and some I already have . So thanks you for new ideas. Ps Mike remember some people are on mobility scooters for good reason.( but I know what you mean) Paul N

Inspiring
Amazing journey feels like you were along for the ride with him. Ending may have been a little flat, I wanted a bit more reflection mentally of the journey and what he achieved and what next- and maybe some more facts on his journey
