My Brother's Bicycle

A journey of contemplation and misadventure as I attempt, mostly unsuccessfully, to re-live a bicycle trip I first embarked on as a fresh-faced 20 year-old.

More than 40 years ago I headed south with a guy I had met at Liverpool Street station in London.

Enfield to Athens on a tandem.

They said it couldn't be done.

For the re-run I was better prepared, or so I thought.

But, as it turned out it didn't really matter.

My Brother's Bicycle is a story of (limited) endurance, survival (over boredom) and indomitable human spirit.
