Jet McDonald: Mind is the Ride

Date: Thursday, May 16 2019
Time: 6:30pm
Venue: Foyles
Price: £3

Launch event for cyclist and psychiatrist Jet McDonald’s book, Mind is the Ride.

“After cycling four thousand miles to India and back, Jet McDonald knew that if he was going to write about the experience it needed to be more than an ordinary travel book. Mind is the Ride is an intellectual journey ranging from east to west using the various components of the bicycle as metaphors for the philosophies and ideas encountered along the way. An inward journey as much as an outward one, Jet’s book is a pedal-powered response to our petrol-driven lives.”

Jet will be joined in conversation by Mike White from Boneshaker magazine.
