What it is

From the author of the A Bike Called Reggie series. "Engaging, witty and pacy" - Steve Silk, journalist and travel writer "Intriguing, humorous and well-written" - Brian Palmer, The Washing Machine Post Secondary school teacher and inveterate would-be adventurer Andrew P. Sykes is back in the saddle. This time, however, it doesn't belong to his long-term sidekick Reggie. There's a fresh-faced kid on the block and she's a bike called Wanda. The new double act set off on a grand tour of Europe to explore some of the continent's most iconic cycling routes and locations: the Vélomaritime, the Avenue Verte to Paris, the Véloscénie to Mont-Saint-Michel, the Vélodyssée, the Canal de la Garonne, the Canal du Midi, the ViaRhôna, the Furka Pass and the Rhine are all on the itinerary of this light-hearted loop from the Hook of Holland… to the Hook of Holland. Join Andrew and Wanda as they put their best foot and only front wheel forward in a hot, dusty but at times very damp quest to delve into the lives, landscapes, history and culture of some of our nearest continental cousins and the countries they call home.
