Ride with Kajsa Tylen

In 2016, Kajsa Tylen set a new Guinness World Record for the Furthest Distance Cycled in a Year by a Woman. She clocked up 52,025 km (32,326 miles) in those 365 days, and battled injuries as well as the weather to achieve her goal.

What makes Kajsa’s achievement more extraordinary is that when she started off on the 1st of January 2016, she had only been cycling for just over 3 years.
