As the USA heads to the polls, join award-winning travel writer, public speaker, and filmmaker Simon Parker for a night of adventure, with a multimedia presentation of tall tales, short films, maps, photos, audio clips and book readings.
In the build-up to the 2024 US Presidential Election, Simon embarked upon a 4,327-mile cycling journey through 11 states, meeting hundreds of fascinating Americans along the way. His aim? To better understand America, its people, politics, and problems. All seen at the gentle pace of a bicycle.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A and sales of Simon’s second book: A Ride Across America. Available for pre-order now.
