Life Cycle Zusammenfassung

Life Cycle: A Bike Ride Round Scotland (and Back to Childhood) Gary Sutherland

In order to recapture some of the magic of childhood years spent cycling around their home town of Hopeman on the Morayshire coast, the Sutherland brothers - older but none the wiser - set off from the back gate of the house they grew up in on a journey of a thousand miles. From the mountains of the Highlands to the traffic-snarled streets of Edinburgh and Glasgow, they ate up Scotland on two wheels and became boys again, pedalling for all they were worth on a road trip of a lifetime that brought pain and laughter in equal measure.

Life Cycle Bewertungen

'Part travelogue, part buddy movie storyboard, Life Cycle celebrates the simple pleasures and sense of achievement to be had by travelling, seeing the world from a different perspective and all via self-generated pedal power'

* Aberdeen Voice *

'Gary Sutherland's writing is unswervingly honest, making it humorous, not just mildly amusing, but as funny as only real life can be ... delightful to read'

* Scottish Field *

'[A] humorous and keenly observed account'

* Scots Magazine *

'A humorous and entertaining book which amounts to a portrait of present day Scotland'
