Cycling Proficiency

Více o knize

As revealing as a bikini made of tooth floss, Cycling Proficiency is a 4,482 mile story of pedal-powered redemption. It follows the wilfully ridiculous travels of a just turned 22 year old on a freebie bike who doesn’t yet know how to fix a puncture and point blank refuses to wear Lycra. Also, she’s crazy. Not ‘cute’ crazy, or ‘bohemian’ crazy, but bog standard, where-are-the-sandwiches-at-this-picnic, medically approved, crazy. Off she goes on her wonky way, hoping things will be all right. Fuelled by reckless enthusiasm and many tinned sprouts, Alice hurricanes through Europe, meeting a pick’n’mix of wacky characters and getting herself into all sorts of wonderful trouble. Flavoured with a bit of love, a bit of loss, a few sacrificed cat’s lives, some mountains and insatiable doses of naivety, this book is one of hope. It is proof to all flavours of people, that the weathers of the mind are here to be embraced.Each chapter is Illustrated by Alice Lushington
