Mike Carter's journey around the edge of Britain by bike
Mike Carter grew up in Birmingham and now lives in south-west London, from where he commutes to his freelance shifts at the Guardian and Observer on a bicycle. Although still married to his motorbike, the capital's traffic jams, speed cameras and bendy buses have somewhat cooled the relationship.
[Carter is] a likeable and self-deprecating guide, the gentle
comedy of his endeavours conceal[s] a vivid portrait of a Britain
rarely seen by many city dwellers
*Financial Times*
A breath of fresh air
*Nicholas Crane*
A lively road trip round the periphery of Britain that goes to its
heart. Wonderful
*William Fotheringham*
