Around the world in 124 days – on two wheels
In 2018, amateur cyclist Jenny Graham became the fastest woman to cycle around the world. She tells her story in Coffee First, Then the World: One Woman's Record-Breaking Pedal Around the Planet (Bloomsbury Sport), which we asked history professor and avid cyclist Duncan R. Jamieson – though avid might be understating it – to read. Not in it for the race himself, he can still see the psychology behind Graham’s quest, and his brilliant account of her fascinating book bears witness to his expertise in the history and sociology of cycling.
