I have this theory that cycling is as close as a middle-class straight white guy can get to understanding Being Female. People have a reckless disregard for your safety, you have to treat everyone like they might hurt you, and if you do get hurt people will blame you for existing.

I don’t mind my world shrinking. In fact, I quite like it sometimes. In summer, I generally talk too much and as Carl Jung said, ‘I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.’ I spend more time with my kids. I sleep more. I read more.

Are you remembering that you’ll gain a day overall? Both Fogg, and Michael Palin following in his footsteps, forgot.

It’s annoying because you lose an hour every time you cross a time zone. If you travel 240 miles to the east you lose 15 minutes in that day. Every morning at eight o’clock my team put their watches back to try and incrementally lose time as we go, which means basically we have to treat every day like it’s 23 hours 45 minutes.
