Manx resident embarks on European city cycle challenge

A 40 year old man living on the Island is taking on a huge challenge.

A 40 year old man living on the Island is taking on a huge challenge...studying and cycling.

But Steven Primrose-Smith doesn't do things by half - he's taking on a maths and physical science degree at the same time as cycling to every single city in Europe.

Just two years ago he suffered a brain haemorrhage and found himself in intensive care. He is completing the challenge to raise funds for the Blood Pressure Association.

His journey is expected to take the next three years.

The thrill-seeker told 3FM that he aims to cycle a total of 25,000miles as that is the circumference of the earth.

He departs from the Isle of Man on Thursday.
