Shoelaces: One Man’s Ride from Breathless to Borderline Impossible
By Roy J Grimes
What if tying your shoelaces could change your life?
For me, it did. A simple, breathless moment in the kitchen became the unlikely spark for a journey that took me from morbid obesity to cycling the entire length of Britain, a 1,000-mile ride in memory of my brother Nathan, who died suddenly from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy).
Shoelaces is about personal discovery, grief, self-doubt, resilience, and the small, quiet wins that slowly turn into something extraordinary. I didn’t set out to inspire anyone. I just wanted to stay alive long enough to watch my kids grow up. What followed was two years of setbacks, surprises, laughter, and the slow rebuilding of a life I thought I’d lost.
If you’re facing your own uphill climb, literal or emotional, this book is for you. It’s about first steps, starting from where you are, and about what happens when you just keep moving forward; one foot in front of the other.
