He almost died. He was almost paralysed. He lost his love.
Listen to Chris Thomas' incredible story and his ride back to both life and love.

In this episode of the VIA Podcast, we catch up with Chris Thomas , a VIA Chapter I rider, to talk about his experience of Chapter I, and why he didn't return to Chapter II.
Will he return to Chapter III?
Why did he hate "Eivind the Terrible"?
What's so special about his "VIA bike"?
How did main organiser Ian impact his life?
What did he say to Broomwagon mechanic Pete at the start of Chapter I?
What makes him so resilient? Discover the highs and lows of his life and how he came so close to death.

This episode was a fascinating and enjoyable conversation: completely open and honest, no holds barred. Seriousness and humour are mixed, as are the extremes of dark and light moments. Don't miss out!

WARNING! At minute 45 of this episode there are images and audio which are graphic in nature and will be disturbing to some viewers and listeners. Skip ahead to minute 54:38:21 to skip the graphic content.

“I didn’t know if I could even finish”
"I didn’t even know if I was a cyclist"
And yet he was first Brit to do finish VIA Chapter II, even weighing 100kg

That’s how he started a 4,000km race across Europe.
Before that?
A banking career. The safe path. A kind of success that didn’t feel right.
So he left.
And somewhere between Alaska and Argentina… He found something else.
Another honest and deep conversation for the VIA podcast. With plenty of giggles and laughs.

Crossing continents is in the blood. How closely is Pete related to the Corleone family? Who got badly hurt and what did the community do next? What happened when she was walking to the nearest town? What happened to a tubeless repair 20mins before the start of Chapter I?
What awards has Pete won? Where was his most picturesque bike repair? Who gets the least sleep between Ian and Pete?

Find out why, in 1946, Pete Alfano’s grandmother journeyed from England to Sicily, across a war-torn Europe. Today, in his Leicester workshop, Pete channels that same grit into .
He might be building in the Midlands, but the inspiration is his family's English-Sicilian endurance. VIA's spirit is crossing continents, and Pete engineers steel machines that make it not just possible but also comfortable for VIA riders and team members. From his family’s roots near Corleone to his frames winning ultra-races by hours, this is a generational tradition of never stopping.
The Bike-Father of Leicester has spoken. 🤌🚴‍♂️

4,000 km across Europe from NE to NO� This year, riders might be carrying a sofa to the finish line.
Welcome to VIA — where elite competition meets something far less predictable.� A house move to Norway turns into a race-wide handicap.� Strangers become community.� Behind the results, stories of grief, records, and reasons far bigger than winning.
Why would anyone take on something like this?� And what happens when the strongest riders are finally… levelled?

WATCH THE CHAPTER II FILM! See the VIA family, our community. See the huge unexpected Adventures, and the fierce Competition.

The film screenings are all done. Maybe you were there at Paris, Amerongen, or London. Maybe you missed the film and the opportunity to meet other riders and the team.

Many different faces feature from the front, the mid-pack, to the back of the field.
There’s so much unused footage we captured, so many more stories to tell.
The “Eagles”, Chapter II riders, voted on the best stories of riders.

The most popular were the amazing stories of veteran Elephants Fiona Shorten, and overall winner, Bruno Wicht. Both exhibited tenacity, endurance, and the determination to explore their physical and mental limits. Those limits were smashed to smithereens.

What will happen next year at Chapter III?

Enjoy the film.
