Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review
[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
