Unfolding Further

More Travels on a Folding Bike

By: Gianni Filippini

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

UNFOLDING FURTHER continues where UNFOLDING TRAVELS left off. It is an account of ten more journeys in the author's pursuit and desire to cycle along some of the most spectacular roads and scenery the world has to offer. Despite the constraints of modern living and a chronic lack of time, the author shows that life-changing adventures should not be limited to students’ gap years or armchair accounts of explorers’ tales. With a little courage and a lot of enthusiasm, a few weeks off work is all it takes to be able to fulfil your traveling dreams. You might be a newbie or a seasoned cyclist, either way never think it is too late. If you are afraid or think you are not ready, just start pedalling. Inevitably you will find out that, whether you venture near or far, you are alright; the rest is learnt along the way as it is needed. Once you return, the freedom you have experienced, as well as the sense of achievement, will leave you wanting more. Life at 15 miles per hour is just about perfect. A cycling tour allows you to travel the world in a more intimate way, as you have never done before: slow enough to take in the sights and smells of a place or to stop and accept the kindness of a stranger, as well as fast enough should you decide not to linger. Follow the author along some of the most memorable roads on Earth, on cycling tours spanning a decade and four different continents. Riding a Brompton folding bike was always going to be a challenge, find out whether it was a gamble well worth taking! This series of inspiring cycling adventures will surely motivate you to set off on your own epic journeys.
