Bike the World with Ian Burns
'On the first of June 1993 I set off from England on a solo round-the-world trip by bike. The journey covered 13,564 miles in 14 countries and took 15 months. During this time I was drugged, robbed, run over, baked and soaked but mostly I had a superb opportunity to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, meet wonderful friendly people and enjoy the culture of widely differing lands.'
