This made me laugh until I cried. It blends a harebrained idea with a social experiment. Two men decide to cycle from the southernmost tip of England to the far north of Scotland. They have no bicycles. They also have no clothes, food, or money.

Barefoot, wearing nothing but Union Jack boxer shorts, off they set in a freezing gale. The outcome of their journey will depend entirely on the kindness and generosity of strangers.

From Susie's list on The best books about travel adventures on two wheels.

Free Country features two young men, George, and Ben, who plan and execute a three-week, 1,000-mile cycle trip through the English and Scottish countryside. The catch? They embark on this journey with only the clothes on their backsides (Union Jack boxer shorts)! They must depend on the kindness and generosity of strangers to move their journey forward and I found myself anxiously turning the pages with a smile on my face.
