Description

Duncan bought a second-hand bicycle using money he got for his thirty-eighth birthday.

Three years later, Duncan is competing in the Tour de France on a bicycle that cost more than the deposit for his first flat.

Duncan has forgotten what he is trying to prove.

At last, a handy Ladybird guidebook for that difficult middle-section of life.

Life is short, and we end up in the middle of it all too soon…with a big red Ferrari, a toy boy, a shark-tooth necklace and a pair of leather trousers on. 

Or worse, standing in B&Q on a Sunday, looking at a tub of boat varnish and realised with horror that you will never own a boat (even though you have never wanted to own a boat). 

But relax, with this guidebook in hand, you will find your way through and make it out the other side alive.
