A Ride Through Near and Distant Lands: The Last Analogue Adventure

Though nobody knew it at the time, 1993 was an inflection point in the history of the world; the moment when the world went digital. It was also the moment when a thirty-nine year old systems analyst who hadn’t ridden a bicycle since his school days decided to close down his life commuting to work in the City of London and embark on a new undertaking: cycling around the world. A Ride Through Near and Distant Lands describes his experiences and his observations of the world as his journey progressed and the miles clocked up. From lying unconscious by the side of an Indian highway to dodging alligators in the bayous of Louisiana, from the monsoons of southern Thailand to the arid heat of the Sonora Desert, this book is not only an adventure but also a perceptive and engaging record of a world that was about to change forever. 386 pages, 38 of the author's own pictures, 5 beautiful route maps.
