Mainly by Bike by Ann Wilson
At the age of 59, Ann decided that there was no time like the present and gave up her job to cycle round the world. Her first bike was stolen in Bulgaria, she was knocked down by a buffalo cart in India and battled with a parasitic illness in Malaysia. These were some of the challenges she had to deal with, but above all, what stood out for Ann was the depth of human kindness she experienced throughout her travels.
Wilson, Ann Marie: - Ann Wilson was born in Barrow in Furness in 1950, the middle child of five and the only girl. She attended Our Lady's Secondary School for girls in Barrow and later studied Science with the Open University. Cycling did not figure prominently in her life until her mid-50s when she completed a ride from Carlisle to Ipswich. This turned out to be the precursor to her round-the-world cycling trip and a lasting love of cycle touring. Since that first long journey she has cycled from Canada to Mexico along the Pacific Coast, Morocco to Paris, Munich to Tblisi, Talinn to Amsterdam and from Houston Texas to the Atlantic and along the coast of Montenegro to Albania Ann has two children, a daughter who lives in her home town of Ulverston and a son who teaches in Japan. Before retiring she worked in the telecommunications industry.
