On the Beach by Nevil Shute makes good reading. It shows how people in an oil based culture suddenly turn to bicycles when they are cut off from their favourite drug.

This virus crises lock-down certainly provides plenty of time to
indulge in reading, and there are a few titles on that 'best cycling
book' list you've given that are worth making a note of.

Once you have read a book you care about, some part of it is always
with you.

Try: 'The death of Marco Pantini'

I looked it up on Amazon where I learnt that Marco was prodigiously
gifted and superficially appeared to be a familiar type of sporting
self-destructor (similar to the likes of George Best, Diego Maradona
and Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins) but, apparently, he was a
'pharmaceutical creation' almost from the beginning.

The book was reviewed as being "immensely sad" but "a must read for
any cycling fan". It sounds quite intriguing and I'll make a note of
it as a future read. Thank you for the recommendation.
