An Oxfordshire teacher today became the first person to travel from Land’s End to John O’Groats on a flying bike.
John Carver, 37, who works and lives at Cothill School, near Abingdon, completed the 800-mile journey up the length of Britain in just 11 days.
He undertook the challenge to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
He said: “I feel like I have achieved something meaningful.”
