Cycling? It’s one of my life’s constants, it feeds my need for beauty, for delight and for aimless exploring. It makes my body hum and brings me safely back to the present . . . I hope to continue pedalling, nice and slowly, for the rest of my life, with the same curiosity that ignited my childhood.
This quote is from a collection of 12 essays, published by Daunt Books, celebrating life on two wheels. The stories touch on the joy, exhilaration and serenity to be found while cycling, and how bikes become an extension of ourselves, a type of armour, and a metaphor for life.
Join us to hear contributors Annie Lord and Xani Byrne share a short extract from their essays and discuss the inspiration for their two wheeled tales.
