Cerebral cycle touring. This read weaves an impressive cycle tour from England to India with philosophical musings on the nature and soul of cycling. Very well written and researched. It’s a unique take on travel by bike; I really related to the writing and sense of humour of the author and thought the illustrations were a lovely touch.
My only real gripe is the formatting decisions to repeatedly refer to different chapters in the book along with the capitalising of bike parts. I get that the idea was to show how different aspects of cycling philosophy intersect, but it made a jarring read that lost the flow of the otherwise very enjoyable prose.
