“Cycling Back to Happiness” is a hugely entertaining and truly inspirational piece of travel writing, an extremely personal story that will have you hooked from start to finish.

'Don't let your biggest fears stand in the way of your dreams, even if your biggest dreams happen to be your biggest fears.'

That was exactly Bernie Friend's attitude when he ditched medication and group therapy to overcome a very unwanted companion - paranoia. A complete novice to long distance cycling, Bernie confronted many demons on his epic journey - a coastal cycle route which circles 6,000 kilometres of the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Scotland and England.

Arm wrestling drunken trawlermen, a geriatric half marathon, Viking bring-and-buy sales, decapitated pirates, burning witches, Shakin' Stevens mega mixes, sea crossing motorways, walking sand giants and remote islands most people can't even be bothered to mark on a map are just some of the secrets coughed up by this incredible adventure.
