Default ‘Going a whole year travelling only by foot or cycling taught me to live a simpler life’

Mieke Evans, from London, completed an epic challenge to go an entire
year without using any form of transport other than her bike. That’s 365
days with no buses, Ubers, tubes, trains, planes or boats. Well, almost.

She does admit that she had to fly to attend a friend’s wedding in
Carcassonne, France, because she didn’t have enough annual leave to get
there by bike – but she cycled to and from Stanstead Airport. Other than
that, Mieke’s every movement was powered by her own legs. And she says
the challenge not only overhauled her mindset about life but also
improved her health and saved her a tonne of money.

She predicts that by going almost an entire year spending no money on
motorised transport she saved between £2,000 and £2,500. So it was good
news for the planet and her bank balance.
