CLIFF JONES
In 2005, Cliff Jones began a journey round Britain on a unicycle, a bike
with only one wheel. He had already made a documentary film about his
experiences travelling round Europe in a 50-year-old car. He was mad
about motor sport and had a job building racing car engines. To save
money, Cliff rode to work in London on an old bicycle, which he also
used to go to France on holiday. “That trip opened my eyes”, he says. “I
decided to do a tour of Britain by bike”.
Cliff didn’t want a normal tour bike, and he knew he wanted to build
one himself. “The craziest bicycle I could think of was a unicycle, so I
went to a factory to see how they are made”. After one false start in
2004, when he had to turn back because of a knee injury, he finally set
out in 2005. He was away for four months, and travelled over 8,500 km.
The best bit of the trip was arriving in Wales and seeing Mount a
Snowdon. “Although I met cyclists who could easily ride up mountains
on their bikes, which I couldn’t do, I never regretted my unicycle. The
further away from London I got, the more amazed people seemed by it”.
His worst moment came when he had to drink some dirty water from a
stream. A serious fever kept him in bed in hospital for five long days. He
was determined not to give up and go back home before he had
completed his challenge, but found it hard to carry on because he felt
so weak. Yet despite all this, Cliff now says, “If I could affort it, I would
like to do something similar again”.

o A. 50-year-old car
o B. old bicycle

o D. motorbike
2. What made Cliff realise he wanted to cycle round Britain?
o A. attending motor races abroad
o B. taking his bike to another country
o C. touring Europe in an old car
o D. visiting a unicycle factory
3. When Cliff met other cyclists in the mountains, he was
o A. surprised by their attitude towards him
o B. jealous of what they were able to

o C. anxious to get away from them
o D. satisfied with his own type of bicycle
4. What was Cliff’s biggest problem during the trip?
o A. He fell ill for nearly a week.
o B. He had to go home to rest.
o C. He wanted to finish his trip early.
o D. He took too long to get to one place.
5. The word their in the last paragraph replaces for
