“‘Never judge a book by its cover’ to which I would add: ‘nor its title’. I embarked on this book a little wearily but was quickly won over by Andrew Sykes’s engaging, self-deprecating style. His account of his transformation from daily cycle commuter to trans-European long distance cyclist is full of humorous asides, observations and anecdotes. For anyone contemplating a long expedition by bike, I can’t recommend a better book to read for inspiration.”
