Bike book & Links: Mike Carter - Uneasy Rider

[iconic944ss]

I'm half way through the book and while its interesting as a 'travel novel', I dont really rate it as proper good biker read.

Mike has some real insights into life at time but for me is way too high-brow at others.

Mike has also gone on to do a round Britain pedal-bike ride too!

As you say it's definitely more a travel novel but I quite enjoyed it. Fair play to him to pass his test, jump on a bike and do 20k round the less salubrious parts of europe.

The end's a bit of a let down though; it just sort of peters out....

The two Ted Simon ones are good, if a little heavy going in places,
