ONE MAN. ONE TEAM. ONE BIKE.
Sick of drifting aimlessly through his thirties, Simon Hood gives up his job and flat to embark on a unique adventure. A lifelong York City supporter, he sets out to cycle to their every match over the course of a season.
York are languishing in the fifth tier of English soccer; home to footballing outposts as obscure as Ebbsfleet, Histon and Nailsworth. What follows is a ten-month, fifty-match, 10,000-mile pilgrimage taking Simon from Tyneside to the Sussex coast, from Cumbria to Kent. Along the way he rides through floods and snow with friends old and new, meets a Knight of the Realm, breaks a couple of bikes and battles with The Bonk.
Would he make it to each match in time for kick-off? Would he resist the temptations of public transport? Would the team rise to the challenge and reward his efforts with an unlikely shot at glory?
The Press "A great story of one man's haphazard road of discovery, told with wit, eloquence and self-deprecation...includes possibly the best-ever account of a table-football contest"
Under The League "The bizarre love child of ‘Fever Pitch’ and the underrated David Lynch film ‘The Straight Story’...this book may well just restore your faith in football"
"A must for all fans"
"Warm, funny, affectionate - a tale of a proper fan"
"Fantastic Read"
"GREAT book, born from a crazy yet commendable idea!"

Bicycle Kicks eBook Simon Hood LeeAnn Donaldson Richard Herring Reviews
This book is written with an exuding energy and a keen wit. I found the description of Simon Hood's escapades on the road captivating and amusing. I laughed out loud and am not ashamed to say I cried when I read the Epilogue. If you've lost any relatives to Alzheimers, you will understand why. I'm not a follower of the beautiful game, but I loved this book.
