Patching the Puncture follows Peter Berry, who lives with Alzheimer’s, and his friend Deb as they share the past five years of cycling adventures, public talks, and honest reflections. Blending humour, insight, and resilience, it’s a moving story of friendship, coping strategies, and living well with dementia.
Patching the Puncture continues Peter’s story, living with Alzheimer’s and defying expectations. He still rides his penny farthing and shares, with candour and humour, the reality of life with dementia.
Spanning the five years since their first book, Slow Puncture, this sequel offers an insight into Peter’s evolving world. Through his words, we see both the heart-rending challenges and the unexpected moments of joy, while Deb reflects on her own journey of self-discovery and the profound impact of their friendship.
Together, they recount cycling adventures, public speaking engagements and the growing influence of Peter’s story. With warmth and honesty, they share practical strategies for living well with Alzheimer’s, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the contributions people living with Alzheimer’s make.
Moving, funny and deeply inspiring, Patching the Puncture is a tribute to resilience, friendship and the power of finding hope in the smallest of things.

Peter Berry was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer’s at the age of fifty and, with a life expectancy of eight to ten years, set about proving that it is possible to live well with the condition. Now aged sixty-one, Peter is married with a daughter and remains a keen cyclist, still riding his penny-farthing. Deb Bunt is the author of Peter’s first book, Slow Puncture: Living Well with Dementia. She and her husband took early retirement and moved from London to Suffolk in 2018. During this time, Deb has acquired one broken shoulder, five grandchildren, and six bicycles. She has also made a wonderful friend in Peter, who has transformed her life.
