Omschrijving
In March 2020, as Britain went into lockdown, Simon Parker’s life fell apart. With an anxiety disorder starting to rear its head, he turned to two trusted therapies: travel and exercise.
On his epic, poignant and ultimately hopeful adventure around Britain, Simon learns that life’s sharpest corners are best navigated at the pace of a bicycle.
If you've recently bought a 'lockdown bike' and realise you've not been using it enough, this inspirational, down-to-earth and touching book may give you a few ideas.
Simon's cycle ride around his own country is a fine demonstration that adventure and transformation begins on your own doorstep.
[Riding Out is] both hugely inspirational yet still relatable... Simon's vulnerability at times will show many readers - myself included - that they aren't alone in feeling lost these past 18 months. How he has managed this vulnerability with humour throughout the book drew me in, as did his ability to capture the spirit of the people he met along the way. His ability to describe challenging moments with honesty makes it feel like you're hearing an old friend regale the trip over dinner.
A truly inspiring journey that celebrates the healing power of adventure. A must-read.
In Riding Out, Simon Parker holds a humane mirror to a fractured Britain as it adjusts to a strange, isolated new world.
Wonderfully relatable on so many levels. Simon's wanderlust, mental roller coaster and reactions to a fast-changing world had me enthralled in his journey, but very much reflecting on my own over the past few years. A brilliantly crafted book which holds a mirror up to the world we live in.
Simon Parker is an Oxfordshire-based travel writer, newspaper columnist and broadcaster who has reported from over 100 countries. He’s sailed and cycled from China to London for the BBC, cycled the length of Scandinavia for Amazon Prime, and hiked every known route to Machu Picchu for The Telegraph.
