Pedal to the Metal: The World's Most Unprofessional Bicycle Couriers
By Martin Swan
Dave Donnelly thought his biggest problem was surviving another day as a bicycle courier in Edinburgh.
He was wrong.
When a mysterious parcel lands in the hands of Rocket Deliveries-the most chaotic courier company in Britain-Dave and his wildly dysfunctional team are thrown into an adventure that spirals far beyond missed deliveries and angry customers. One wrong package leads to gangsters, secret societies, hidden archives, ancient libraries, and a cat named Winston who appears to know far more than any cat should.
Joined by Mandy, Raj, Big Mick, Trevor, Luna the white cat, an increasingly suspicious goat, and a pigeon with questionable motives, Rocket Deliveries race across Britain on a mission that grows stranger with every mile. From the streets of London to forgotten islands hidden in the Atlantic, they uncover secrets buried for centuries and stumble into a battle over history, memory, and freedom itself.
Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, ridiculous situations, eccentric characters, thrilling chases, and enough bicycle-related disasters to terrify any courier, Pedal to the Metal is a heartwarming adventure about friendship, loyalty, and the ordinary people who end up doing extraordinary things.
If you enjoy the humour of Douglas Adams, the camaraderie of The Thursday Murder Club, and the absurd adventures of unlikely heroes, you'll love this hilarious tale of Britain's least professional delivery company.
Some parcels change lives. This one changed history.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Humorous adventure fiction
- British comedy
- Eccentric characters
- Mystery and conspiracy capers
- Feel-good stories with heart
- Laugh-out-loud workplace chaos
- Animal sidekicks that steal the show
Warning: Contains reckless cycling, questionable decision-making, suspiciously intelligent cats, and one goat who may be plotting something.
