The author of the bestselling French Revolutions does Italy -
cycling the course of the 1914 Giro d'Italia on a wooden bike.
'Bill Bryson on two wheels' Independent
Having ridden the route of the Tour de France in French
Revolutions, led a donkey on a 500-mile pilgrimage in Spanish Steps
and driven round the worst places in Britain in an Austin Maestro
for You Are Awful (But I Like You), Tim Moore can loook back on a
towering career in misadventure.
Gironimo!, his latest and most imposing pedal-powered endeavour, is
a story of predictable over-ambition trumped by frankly staggering
over-achievement. Moore lives in London with his wife and three
children, and still wears those welding goggles at Christmas.
A considerable achievement
