Summary

What is the longest bike trip you've ever done? Have you ever run a marathon or walked a very long distance? In this episode, I speak to Ben Fisher, who just this weekend cycled all the way from The River Thames in London to La Seine in Paris, covering a distance of over 460km. Listen to the podcast as Ben and I discuss the trip, the challenges, the pain, the blood, the sweat, the tears and the joy of this journey by bicycle. In our discussion you will hear lots of vocabulary relating to cycling and transport in general.
