When Julian Sayarer learns the world record for a circumnavigation by bicycle has been broken, and that adventure has been bought by banks and big business, he leaves his job as a London bike courier and sets out determined to take it back. Riding an average of 110 miles a day and as much as 240, he lives six months on the road and on a daily budget of £8.84.

Twenty countries pass beneath his wheels, rolling through hurricanes and alongside homeless cycling tramps. Life Cycles is not only an account of incredible physical endurance but also a roadside view of a changing world.

From US trailer families to Chinese factories and Kazakh nomads, this thrilling tale of discovery and adventure is a reminder that the world is out there and waiting for us.
