Cyclist crosses Europe in record time

Until a few months ago, Leigh Timmis had never cycled professionally. Now he has become the fastest person to cycle across Europe, shaving more than eight days off the previous world record. His attempt comes after Leigh left his job to cycle around the world after being diagnosed with depression.
