Guy travels from Shanghai to Beijing on China's bullet train and trawls Beijing's back streets to find a "Flying Pigeon" – the most produced machine in the world for a high-speed pedal through one of the world's most congested cities.

This is Guy's toughest ever physical challenge. He wants to break the record for the fastest crossing of the Taklamakan Desert on a bicycle. Known as the 'desert of death', the local legend has it that once you enter the desert you never come out.
