36 of the best cycling books — check out the books every cyclist should own
QUOTE:
Want something to read? There are vast numbers of cycling books out there; few activities have as wide a range of literature. There are books on the bikes themselves, in all their variety; books on where to ride; on riding technique; on the great — and not so great — races; on cyclesport’s heroes and villains; and much more. Here are our picks of the best cycling books; everyone should have at least some of these in their collection. https://road.cc/content/buyers-guide...g-books-178518 |

It shows how people in an oil based culture suddenly turn to bicycles when they are cut off from their favourite drug. |

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. |
