Mike Brown - Cycling across America

In 1986 Mike cycled across America from the West to East coast. It changed his life.

Mike grew up in Johnsonville and fell in love with Springsteen, Dylan, Flying Nun and punk whilst at university in the early 80s. He's worked as a storeman in an ice-cream freezer, as a painter and decorator, as CEO of a minor sports organisation and as a web developer.

He's currently one half of Webstock http://webstock.org.nz/ and manages the Twitter account for @joshquestions http://twitter.com/joshquestions.

He once thought an ideal life would consist of cycle touring and studying Philosophy.

Agreed - a truly wonderful talk, both seen in person and on screen.

Watching it a second time, Mike, I couldn't help but be reminded of the poetry performances of Sam Hunt and Gary McCormick back in the day.
