Julian Sayarer grew up riding a bicycle and worked as a bike courier in London. When the world record for a circumnavigation by bike is broken - the biker riding in conjunction with banks and big business - Julian sets out to take it back. 'Life Cycles' is his story of that record, riding 110 miles a day for six months, on only £7.82 daily, through jungles, snow and 20 different countries. He finds himself stranded without money in the deserts of Kazakhstan, bitten by a dog in North Carolina, and sleeping under motorway bridges in China.
