“A challenge that tested Tom to his limit but in return gave him more than he could ever have imagined.”
- Bear Grylls
“Every Inch of the Way is a great page turning adventure which is as close as you can get, without actually saddling up and pedalling yourself into the unknown. It takes real magic to turn a great adventure, into a great book. For one thing, most people can't relate to the mindset of the long distance cyclist and I found myself laughing along to Tom's thoughts and observations, wondering if they were in - jokes, shared by those who had seen the world at the speed of a bike, for example his relationship with Serbia's stray dogs! . But his anecdotes have a great balance of the cultures and places, as opposed to just inward reflections, so I am sure would be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in travel and human experience. A lovely story, written from the heart.”

Listen to an interview about my bike tour that I had on BBC Radio Stoke here:
"Every Inch of the Way; My bike ride around the world" Is now available as a paperback or on kindle.
Please note that the printed version contains black and white photographs, whereas the ebook version has full-colour photos (unless you have a black and white device)
This book is the full story of my bike ride around the world; through Europe, Asia and the USA. It's based on my blog but has more detail, includes photos and more stories. I'm really pleased with the final copy and hope that you will enjoy it. Before I set off on my trip, I read books about people's rides, which inspired me to go on my own adventure. I hope mine can do the same.
