Did you know you can travel with a bicycle and not the biggest wad of cash? Did you know that a bicycle is a mode of transport as well as a leisure vehicle? Did you know you can travel through your own country for free using a bicycle? What’s that I hear you saying, ‘it costs too much money!’ What if I were to tell you to bring a tent as well? That would be the accommodation and transport sorted. How does that sound? ‘Food?’ You ask. Keep it simple; carbohydrates. Water is water, you will find that along the way, plenty. ‘Time,’ I hear you calling. Take the time off. Save it for the weekends. You have four directions you can go, north, south, east and west. What else would you realistically need? I believe everyone can take advantage of the sweet momentum of the bicycle. That is what I have done though I was not confined to a single country... Read and you will find out more... Maybe I reached your country... There were twenty countries in total... Maybe one belonged to you!

Scotland; What a country! Being from the North of Ireland, there is fairly easy access to the country via the ferry service which departs from Belfast several times a day and with a bicycle; arrive, follow their instructions, load the bicycle and take a seat. Arrive, and well, the road network is fairly simple, once out of the terminal there are two choices; right or left, north or south. Part One of this jaunt I chose the left and ended up in Wick, North-East of the country... Could have gone further but was a Friday; heavy traffic on the single carriageway. Part Two, I took a right and followed the Scottish border to the capital; Edinburgh via Dumfries and small villages until destination reached. Part Three, Edinburgh to Aberdeen – where I left the bicycle in for a service and the MicroSD card fragmented hence minimal photographs. Part Four, I returned to Aberdeen and made my way back to Wick. Stunning landscapes throughout. Would recommend the West coast of Scotland as a cycle. Right from the port, stunning views all over. Some inclines scattered throughout but once you move over them, fairly powerful coasting from there. This is Ireland in Scotland.

A bicycle is a great way to explore a country. Be it here, there or anywhere. It can be challenging and demanding at times but there is nothing to be proven and if you have the time, you can explore a little more. This book is about the travelling done from the north of Ireland to the south of Ireland on the east coast and then on the west coast. I didn’t see everything nor was I travelling to see everything, there may be some places that I visited that may not be included on an itinerary. This is 40 days around Ireland. This is Ireland, but not all the island has to offer.

"Martijn Doolaard traded in the convenience of a car and the distractions of daily life for a cross-continental cycling journey: a biped adventure from Amsterdam to Singapore. Leaving behind repetitive routines, One Year on a Bike indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling. Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible." -- Provided by publisher.

Athletes are always aiming to be faster, better, stronger. New techniques to enhance their sporting performance have increasingly been linked to use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and other hard-to-detect substances like performance-enhancing drugs. This book offers a timely analysis of the new challenges posed by this phenomenon in the anti-doping community. The authors present the first comprehensive perspective on the rapidly shifting doping scenario and reflect on use, regulation, policy, and market structure of NPS used in sports. They highlight the challenges with the list of prohibited substances and methods in and out of competition. They also evaluate how methods to detect new drugs present an ongoing battle for doping control as they have to be adapted constantly. Topics covered within the chapters include: Contamination of Sports Supplements with Novel Psychoactive Substances Untested Supplement Use Among Athletes: An Overlooked Phenomenon? International Drug Control: Protecting the Health of the Athlete Analysis of New Chemical Entities in a Sport Context Emerging Drugs in Sport establishes a clear benchmark on the policy discussion, drawing from available evidence and sources, including athletes' personal experiences, to generate a fact-based resource that informs a research as well as wider audience. The book is essential reading for those working in anti-doping, substance misuse, sports, ethics, and human enhancement. It also is useful for policy-makers, legislative personnel, and other professionals with an interest in protecting clean sport. “Doping is one of the greatest threats to the integrity of sport. We must never be tempted to turn our back on the problem and hope it will disappear. The benefits and values of clean sport have never been more important to the world. That is why this book with its wide-ranging approach is so valuable.” Thomas Bach, President, International Olympic Committee “Physical activity is vital to a healthy living, which is why doping is not just an assault on fair competition, but also on health. I strongly commend this book for compiling advanced knowledge on performance-enhancing drugs and promoting health through sport.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World Health Organization

An updated edition including new color photographs and a new afterword looking back at the journeyAlastair Humphreys' around-the-world journey of 46,000 miles was an old-fashioned adventure: long, lonely, low-budget, and spontaneous. Cycling across five continents and sailing over the oceans, his ride took four years to complete, on a tiny budget of hoarded student loans. Here is the story of the first remarkable stage of the expedition. Just two weeks into the ride the September 11th attacks changed everything. All Humphreys' plans went out the window and, instead of riding towards Australia, he suddenly found himself pedaling through the Middle East and Africa and on toward Cape Town. This book recounts an epic journey that succeeded through Humphreys' trust in the kindness of strangers, at a time where the interactions of our global community are more confused and troubled than ever.

What would happen if you were cycling to the office and just kept on pedalling? Needing a change, Mike Carter did just that. Following the Thames to the sea he embarked on an epic 5,000 mile ride around the entire British coastline - the equivalent of London to Calcutta. He encountered drunken priests, drag queens and gnome sanctuaries. He met fellow travellers and people building for a different type of future.

This is the inspiring and very funny tale of the five months Mike spent cycling the byways of the nation.

This new title from Bradt tells the inspiring and emotional story of Ishbel Holmes, also known as 'World Bike Girl', a Scottish-Iranian woman who became a champion racing cyclist in spite of having been abandoned by her family, and who set off on the adventure of a lifetime despite her lack of experience, money or equipment. Ishbel Holmes was determined to cycle the world but her journey took a completely unexpected turn when, despite her initial instincts not to, she rescued a street dog in Turkey. Ishbel was lost and alone when she started on her epic trip, but in Lucy found a companionship never previously known. Between the two there formed a deep bond and their relationship was followed and supported by thousands of readers online, before becoming a media sensation overnight when Ishbel put out a plea for help to transport Lucy to an animal shelter three hundred miles away. This heart-rending tale is about more than just the relationship between a woman and her dog. It is a testimony to the human spirit, overcoming present-day challenges and churning up long-buried and painful memories from Ishbel's earlier life. It is also a tale of adventure, one person's determination to cross an unfamiliar country by bike and the unforgettable scenes that greet her on the Turkey-Syria border and into Syria itself. And it is a loving portrait of Lucy, the street dog that was determined not to let Ishbel go and whose dogged persistence helped to break down the barriers around her heart and in so doing change her life in ways she had never imagined. Ultimately, this is a tale of love and healing, a modern fable that touches the soul and reminds us all of the need to belong.
