Our Guy in China

Guy builds his own electric motorbike in a factory in Chongqing, the fastest growing city in the world, before visiting the world's biggest public toilet and heading along the Yangtze towards Shanghai.

Guy explores Beijing, buying a rudimentary Flying Pigeon bicycle, finding out how China's super-rich live, and racing the 'Nigel Mansell of rickshaws' around the tight and twisty backstreets.

Guy concludes his Chinese adventure by attempting to break the record for the fastest crossing of the vast Taklaman Desert - the 'desert of death' - on a bicycle.
