SIGRID RIDES

'The Story of An Extraordinary Friendship and An Adventure on Two Wheels'. When Travis Nelson arrived in London, he expected to embark on a new life and a new job. Coming from California, he had uprooted his wife and his cat Sigrid, and planned to be here for the long haul. Then Covid-19 struck and Travis's new job vanished as the company cut staff. For two years and through successive lockdowns, he was stuck in limbo. He bought a bike and began cycling through London's streets and parks with his unusual travelling companion Sigrid, his deaf, Norwegian Forest cat who came along for the ride. Big and white and fluffy and with an expressive face and bright blue eyes, he features on the cover of this unusual travel book which has emerged from its popularity on social media. Travis charts his adventures and unlocks a hidden London seen only from cyclist's viewpoint and that of his rather special feline companion who has helped him through his mental health problems. A relatable and heartwarming book, all pet lovers will love learning more about Sigrid. 272pp.
