Cycling from the UK to France — No Front Gears, No Brakes, No Regrets

I cycled from Brighton to Northern France with no front gears and barely working brakes.
No shortcuts, no fancy gear—just persistence, curiosity, and a bit of madness.
What started as a last-minute decision turned into one of the most rewarding adventures of my life.
From ghost towns and sketchy forest roads to Google Maps detours and ferry rides, this is the journey that reminded me:
Momentum beats perfection. Just start.

📍 Route: Brighton → Newhaven → Ferry to Dieppe → Rouen → Yvetot → Saint-Valery-en-Caux
