   Hi there,

   I’m putting on a one man show ‘Bombay to Beijing by Bicycle’ (about my trip) at the Edinburgh Festival (www.gildedballoon.co.uk) and was just wondering who would be worth contacting (cycle networks etc) to promote the show to give free tix deals.

   Also I need to borrow a bike for a month if anyone has one they’re willing to lend. Will give free tix!

   Will be in Edinburgh 26th July.

   (website will be up in a week)

   Cheers
