China on Two Wheels

Edward Genochio wanted a challenge, a change from the nine-to-five. So he quit his job to cycle 12,000 miles from Exeter to Shanghai for charity. He sets off on Wednesday, on what's expected to be a 240-day trek across a dozen countries. Money raised will aid local development projects in a remote village in rural China, where Edward spent two months in 1999 as part of a research project.
