16,500 miles from the UK to Beijing – on a Bicycle
You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’ (George Bernard Shaw). Christopher J A Smith will be demonstrating through an
illustrated talk just what it is possible to achieve with a pair of healthy lungs and legs and a well-made bicycle. Chris rode his bicycle 16,500 miles from Worcestershire to Beijing. For thirteen months his lungs and legs powered him into headwinds, across deserts and up to mountain passes (and a wonderfully indomitable, reliable and adaptable source of power they proved to be). How does it feel to trade domestic comfort and security for
life as a nomad and to pare one’s life down to the bare necessities? 7.30 pm. Marine Theatre Tickets £10 from the theatre box-office in Church St, Lyme Regis DT7 3QA (01297 442138
