- SEE ENGLAND AS IT IS
A book full of gentle humour with a very English feel to it. The author bikes from Dorset to Berwick upon Tweed and his struggles with daily mileage, the English weather along the way but best of all are his descriptions of encounters with people, towns and signposts along the way. The history is written with a nostalgic tinge. If you enjoy Bill Bryson type observations you'll probably like this book.

- Order the Full English
Fancy cycling 650 miles from the South Coast to the Scottish border? No need - just sit back with a brew and the Full English, and read Mike Carden's witty account of his perils with his trusty bike "Scott" doing just that. Mike successfully describes the places visited in their historical context, and always finds humour in the most dire circumstances.
So dont be so daft as to attempt anything similar - read "The Full English" and avoid all those lung-busting hills, dodgy hostels, wet weather, man-flu, and above all don't end up having conversations with your bike!

- Two wheels good...
From the first confrontation between cyclist and cycle on Portland Bill, I was hooked. Join Mike Carden on his epic ride to Berwick upon Tweed and you'll be exhausted by the punishing mileage, delighted by glimpses of a fast-disappearing English countryside, intrigued by historical digressions and, above all, amused. There were passages that made me laugh out loud. Just wait till you read about the kestrel in Birmingham...

- A National Treasure
In the 'The Full English', Carden (and his bike Scott) take the reader on a funny and fascinating journey from one end of England to the other. Never too weighty, but always interesting, Carden's historical knowledge blends perfectly with his warmth and humour to provide a wonderfully human and informative read, which always hits the right note. I'm very much looking forward to his next adventure.
