YOUTUBE EXCLUSIVE: Episode 068 Of The Cycling Europe Podcast
Tony Lenihan, a retired policeman, works for his local council in the English Midlands as their โSustainable Travel and Wellbeing Coordinatorโ. Heโs also a keen cyclist and, in the early autumn of 2022, after more than 40 years of work, he decided to take a career break and head off on a solo cycling adventure from Bilbao to Athens. It would be a 7-week ferry-hopping Greek odyssey that took him through northern Spain, to the islands of Sardinia and Scilly, across the heel of Italy to Brindisi before sailing the Adriatic to his final destination of Greece.ย He talked to The Cycling Europe Podcast about his continental experiencesโฆ but also about โactive travelโ in the UK and how the country measures up (or not) to its European neighbours.ย
