INTRODUCTION Scope of our Research Our bibliography makes an attempt to take stock of all English language books that have been published on professional cycle racing until 31 December 2012. The concept of “professional cycle racing” which has guided the preparation of our bibliography is being understood in a broad sense. Although books on (men’s) cycle racing mostly tend to focus on road racing, we could, of course, not possibly afford ignoring other disciplines and categories. As a result, our database also provides a survey of book titles covering track racing, cyclo-cross, time trials, mountain bike racing, Bmx competition and, last but not least, women’s cycle racing. The books which are referenced do not necessarily touch upon cycle racing as such (i.e. its history, the various races, biographies of racers, cycling teams, etc.) but also include, amongst others, all types of literary and other artistic activities which it has generated (such as literature and photography). It needs to be emphasised, however, that our database does not encompass books which elaborate on bicycles in their own right, such as books putting a particular emphasis on their history, their transportation function or their design and engineering dimensions. Titles providing recommendations on the way in which bicycles need to be to maintained and repaired have not been targeted either bearing in mind that those topics are not specific to professional cycle racing. However, books touching up racing bikes have been included as they are a vital component of the cycle racing scene and could, therefore, not possibly be overlooked. In the same vein, books on cycle touring or providing details on interesting cycling itineraries have been discarded whilst publications describing the itineraries of classic races or providing details on the various mountains which have become famous as epic battlefields of cycle races, have, been mentioned as soon as they make explicit reference to cycle racing history. As the focus of our bibliography is mainly on the sport looked at from a spectator’s perspective, “How-to-do” books have also been discarded. This means that books explaining how one should address training and peak for competitions, or master cycling skills and riding techniques have been banned. However, books providing

specific details of how one cycling champion or the other prepares for races have been included as they are useful biographical data. Likewise, books on medical preparation (nutrition, etc.) have also been left outside of the bibliography’s scope, although we could, of course, not possibly afford ignoring books that examine doping practices from which the cycle racing scene keeps on suffering. A second basic criterion delimiting the scope of our research has been that we have only taken into account books. This means, firstly, that we did not include magazines and, more particularly, special issues dedicated to specific riders, races or other events. We did not make the slightest compromise in this regard. We have hesitated on whether to restrict the scope of our database exclusively to books that have been published in a paper-based format now that the advent of tablets has given rise to publications that are being made available in an electronic format only. We finally decided to take e-books on board as well together with other types of publications that have been made available exclusively on the Internet (such as dissertations) bearing in mind that the number of such publications appears to be rather limited today so that it still appears manageable to have an overview of such type of publications. It needs to be noted nevertheless that we have opted for discarding publications issued by VDM publishing, a company which specialises in publishing and selling Wikipedia articles in printed form via print on demand in e-commerce bookstores. As some may recall, stencil-based publications have been a popular means of sharing information amongst friends and colleagues in times before the computer age. We have treated such publications with much sympathy and leniency: they have been included whenever they had been referenced in dedicated repertories. Doctoral theses which were not published in a paper-based format have not been integrated in our database unless they have been made accessible on the Internet. It needs to be observed, finally, that, as a general rule, books have been entered into our database only provided that they are entirely dedicated to cycle racing. General books on sports - or even on bicycling- which merely include one or more sections on cycle racing are, therefore, not included. All those caveats being made, it needs to be equally emphasised that we have restrained from applying those selection criteria in a religious way. Adopting a

flexible approach appeared to be warranted instead, firstly, taking into account that some books which have been published on bicycles and cycling in general have become so notorious and/or successful over the years that we could not possibly ignore them. It may be useful highlighting in this context that we have been particularly flexible as to books which have been published in the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century bearing in mind that books which specifically focused on cycle racing tended to be rare in those days. As a consequence, general books on bicycles and cycling may be worthwhile consulting to obtain information on cycle racing as it was organised in those days. Another reason explaining why we did not hesitate to be flexible stems from our wish to bring some books to the attention of our readers, even though it might be argued that they should probably have been left out on the basis of the strict criteria referred to above. It needs to be flagged, finally, that we have preferred excluding publications which professional cycling racing teams distribute on a regular basis to keep fans updated.

An Annotated Bibliography A feature that we expect our readers to highly appreciate is that, to the extent that this was possible, every book title has been accompanied by a short review that should ideally enable the reader to learn more about the book’s distinctive features and find out if the publication might be of interest to him. The reviews have mainly been borrowed from the Internet, albeit mostly in a somewhat amended form taking into account that our concern was to be as concise as possible. We did, therefore, not hesitate to cut those comments down to the very basics. Reviews published by various specialised websites introducing new publications were obviously particularly valuable to our research. Whenever it appeared that various websites provided comments on a given book, we have made a judicious selection. Furthermore, publisher catalogues were another important source of information. However, taking into account that, by their very nature, publishers’ descriptions tend to be somewhat biased, we have reproduced them only if no other review was available. It should not come as a surprise that it often appeared difficult to find a review of books that were published before the advent of the Internet. Due credit has been given to the names of the Websites from which the reviews have been drawn. This has not only been done for obvious legal reasons pertaining

to the authors’ copyright but also because we believed it paramount to pay tribute to the valuable contributions made by the many Internet users who go through the effort of sharing their reflections about cycle racing books with other cycling fans. Generally speaking, we have avoided echoing critical reflections as to the book’s qualities which reviews often tend to voice. Finally, we have tried, on a best effort basis, to indicate if new impressions of books have been produced and, if so, whether or not it concerns a revised edition. Other information about a book’s history that we detected has also been made available whenever we considered it sufficiently interesting.

Presentation and Methodology Our bibliography mainly consists of two parts. The first part takes stock of cycle racing books by listing them alphabetically by author or editor. Whenever an author or editor has published several books, they have been mentioned in a chronological order. Books which do not make mention of any author have been classified at the very end, under the heading “Anonymous” The first part contains the whole set of usual bibliographical data, i.e. the name(s) of its author(s) (or editors), the illustrator(s), the book’s full title and, where applicable, its sub-title, the year in which it has been published, the name of the publisher, the number of pages and, finally, where applicable, the name of the author of the book’s foreword. Whenever an author published five or more books, biographical details about the author have been provided, if available. Whenever a book does not explicitly mention the year of its publication, we have tried to provide an indication on an approximate basis followed by a question mark. If books have been issued by more than one company, we have made mention of this, on a best-effort basis. It may be useful adding furthermore that the number of pages has been provided on a tentative basis taking into account that data which can be found on the Internet on this is not always reliable. It does not need to be explained that we were only in a position to reproduce the bibliographical information in full to the extent that it is available on the Internet. The second part of the bibliography classifies the titles by theme. It only makes mention of key bibliographical data and lists the various titles in a chronological

order. Whenever a revised edition of a book title was published, the last publication date was used as a reference.

A Books of Samuel ABT Samuel Abt is cycling journalism’s senior statesman in the English language. He was the first American to write about the Tour De France regularly. He was the cycling correspondent for The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune. In his books, Abt collects his daily newspaper missives into wild and nuanced pastiches of the Euro racing life. He is a writer who tells a story through the accumulation of minutely observed detail. (Source: bicycling.com & redkiteprayer.com) ABT, Samuel, Breakaway: on the Road with Tour De France, 1985, Random House, 178 pp Category: Tour De France Annuals (1984 Tour) Abts’ books are year-long pieces of reportage that tell the tale of the great French race through dozens of individual narratives – of mechanics, riders, managers, sponsors and reporters. This book takes as its subject the 1984 tour – the year that Laurent Fignon got one over on Bernard Hinault. It was also Robert Millar’s best ever tour. Abt is a brilliant journalist, with a fine ear for a story and an ability to pluck out telling details. There are really no books to touch his for evoking the glamour, oddity and daily grind of a great cycling tour. (Source: Tim Dawson, cycling-books.com) ABT, Samuel, In High Gear: The World of Professional Bicycle Racing, Bicycle Books, 1989, 190 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (In general) Collection of essays. Abt offers a wonderful description of a heroic ride by Paul Sherwen; gives us a finessed, poetic description of Milan-San Remo that made me see it through new eyes, as a kind of one-day Paris-Nice; brings alive Belgian kermesses such as the GP Rudy Dhaenens and Nokere Koerse, classic Flemish races; presents, ironically, Laurent Fignon as an innovator in the time-trial; and shows us Merckx's cynical side by describing his support for aero bars. (Source: cs.brown.edu) Observation: This book was expanded and updated in 1990 (Bicycle Books, 208 pp) and in 1996 (MBI Publishing).

ABT, Samuel, Greg LeMond: the Incredible Comeback of an American Hero, 1990, Stanley Paul // Hutchinson, 215 pp Category: Biographies (USA) A behind-the-scenes look at Greg Lemond. Abt spent time with LeMond during his victorious Tour De France. While Abt seems to shift tenses at will, making it hard to determine when and where things are taking place, the inside look at the Tour De France, bicycling teams and agents, other European races, and famous bicyclists such as Bernard Hinault, will appeal to avid bicyclists as well as interested readers. Although Abt seems to take some liberties with LeMond's inner thoughts, the book is informative and easy to read. (Source: Nancy E. Zuwiyya, Binghamton City Sch. Dist., N.Y., review at amazon.com) Observation: It would seem that Random House has published the book in the US under the title Uphill: The Greg LeMond Comeback (Source: cycling-books.com). The title to which on-line bookshops tend to refer is Greg Lemond: The Incredible Comeback. The book was reprinted in 1991.

He describes both races and certainly succeeds in fitting this race into the context of that day. The reader gets all angles of world class cycling as Abt describes the growing Indurian myth. We also hear from the less talented riders as Abt talks about their chances as well as how the economy is affecting the team structure in the early 90's. Abt's work is also timed to describe the end of Greg LeMond's reign as the American Champion and the book gives glowing predictions of Armstrong's future.

Category: Yearbooks (1994) Samuel Abt traces the diverging fortunes of Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong during 1994. LeMond's story begins with his GAN team's presentation in Bordeaux, France and ends with his retirement from cycling. Armstrong's season opens at his training camp in Tuscany, and closes with thoughts on his future. The book features a stage-by-stage account of the Tour De France.

ABT, Samuel, Pedalling for Glory: Victory and Drama in Professional Bicycle Racing, 1997, Bicycle Books// Motor Books, 152 pp Category: Yearbooks (1996) The 1996 pro bicycle racing season was one of the most dramatic in history and Samuel Abt puts the reader in touch with the excitement. He focuses on the people - the favorite who is forced to abandon the race and the newcomer who rises to glory. From the early races in March, braving ice and snow in Italian Tirreno-Adriatico, to the sweltering heat at the Spanish Vuelta and the Summer Olympics, the book follows the races and racers. (Source: Pete & Ed Books) ABT, Samuel, In Pursuit of the Yellow Jersey: Bicycle Racing in the Year of the Tortured Tour, 1999, Van der Plas Publications, 192 pp Category: Tour de France Annuals (1998 Tour) The 1998 “Festina” edition of the race is one we all remember. As he often does, instead of jumping right in to the Tour de France, Abt takes us through the season's early tests - the classics - setting the scene for what's to come in July; a scene for which none of us were ready. Once the stuff hits the fan, he's there with all the detail and all the opinions. But there's more to this book than just the drug scandals; there are the day to day events that make up the very heart of the race, described in vivid detail. (Source: James L.

ABT, Samuel & WATSON, Graham, Off to the Races: 25 Years of Cycling Journalism, 2002, VeloPress, 355 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (Highlights & Anecdotes) Abt split his book into threes themes: Cycling’s heroes in the first 3rd; lesser known (or completely unknown) domestiques, soigneurs, etc., in the 2nd; and ‘races and places’ for the last part, highlighting the many races that make up the pro-European scene, as well as lots of great stories on the backwaters of Europe. Abt has a crisp style of writing that I found tempered with a nice dash of humanity. He cares about his subjects. There is no chronology to the book, but each ‘chapter’ has a year under the title so you can place it mentally into your own personal jigsaw.

Most of the articles focus on the Tour and half the book covers from 2000-2005.

Still there are many articles about smaller things that add so much character to the sport from the Kelme team to Chris Horner in his first year in Europe in ’97 to Betsy King doing the BordeauxParis race in 1984.

It's simply Freddy's side of the story, told with affection for the sport he loves. Maertens comes off to this reader as a man unaware of his otherworldly talent and place in the sport's history.

For full effect you really need to have read the first biography. There's little glimpse into Armstrong the man, and this book is more a step-by-step account of his training methods, and the many highs and lows of the Tour de France wins.

To meet demand and compete with the companies that were being set up all around the world, cycle makers had to increase output, and cut costs by automating their factories. The Canada Cycle and Motor Company (CCM) was created by the five largest makers in 1899 to try to control supply and reduce competition to an acceptable level. Its unfortunate demise in 1982, however, did not put an end to the Canadian industry, which continues to exist today, albeit in a significantly changed form. What keeps it going is the enduring popularity of cycling in Canada.

This biography chronicles the life of the Marshall Major Taylor. Taylor was an incomparable athlete, poet and celebrity, but he was also a black man living during a time when the scars of the Civil War and slavery were still fresh in the minds of Americans. Balfe does great work presenting the complex nature of Taylor's life, including his up-bringing in poverty, the years he was treated as a son by a rich white family, the fans who both worshipped and vilified him and his close relationships with his white trainer and promoter. Much of the book revolves around Taylor's rivalry with the pugnacious, bigoted Floyd McFarland to be the fastest rider in the world. Balf's prose is both evocative and informative.

All very necessary - but not sufficient to explain its success. The key to its success was its voice and tone. This was a book written by an intelligent, modern, ‘alternative’ person dealing with an intelligent, modern, ‘alternative’ subject, in an intelligent, modern, ‘alternative’ style. It was humorous, ironic and serious when it needed to be serious. And it held out hope, hope that, in a small practical way, you could change the world into a better place. A true classic.

Cycling clubs had long held races on the road. From such racing, record-breaking developed naturally, and in the absence of any controlling body, records had only the authenticity that arises from general repute. No practical drawbacks appeared, however, until – for commercial reasons – the cycling press was flooded with claims to records, for which no proper evidence was forthcoming, over untested distances, and between the most fantastic places. And it so came about that the leading clubs in the northern counties of England formed themselves into the Northern Road Records Association, and set to work to introduce some sort of order.

(Source: Publisher’s Description) BARTHES, Roland, Mythologies, Jonathan Cape, 1972, 159 pp Category: Academic Literature In 53 magazine essays on popular culture published between 1954 and 1956, Barthes sought to undermine the pieties of French petit bourgeois culture as manifested in the mass media and politics. Synthesizing elements of existentialism, Freudian theory, Marxism and the linguistics of Ferdinand de Saussure, Barthes sought to show that the myths of popular culture laid a glossy veneer over the more complex and often ugly realities of French society. In “The Tour de France as Epic,” Barthes describes the Tour as an epic battle “with only four movements: “to lead, to follow, to escape, to collapse.” (Source: washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com) Observation: various versions of those essays have been published in English.

Was written three years after the publication of Barthes’s Mythologies (1957) and bears considerable resemblance to that work. The great French literary theorist muses philosophically on the question: What is sport? Barthes considers five national sports: bullfighting (Spain), car racing (America), cycling (France), hockey (Canada), and soccer (England). For Barthes, sport is spectacle and serves the primary social function that theatre once did in antiquity, collecting a city or nation within a shared experience. The real pleasure of this book, however, lies less in its generalities than in its fleeting, strangely haunting moments of insight.

BECKWITH, Frank (ed), Yorkshire Road Club 1891-1991, A History compiled by Members, 1991, W.R. Kitching// Yorkshire Road Club, 92 pp Category: Cycling Clubs Glories aplenty abound in this excellently produced little book. Taken in the main from the first-handed reminiscences recorded by the Y.R.C. members themselves, the text is liberally salted with anecdote and observation. The roll-call of past and present members is graced by many of the greatest names in British cycling. From early pioneers who roamed the northern roads on high-wheelers, through the hungry 20’s and 30’s when scarcely a week passed without a R.C. member hitting the headlines somewhere, to the heady post-war days when the club’s riders spearheaded our entry into the world of continental racing. There is much to savour in the comparatively modest publication, not least many well-presented photographs of the Y.C.R. at work and play. (Source: Publisher’s Description). BEELEY, Serena. A History of Bicycles, From Hobby Horse to Mountain Bike, 1992, Studio Editions, 144 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (In general) * Racing Bikes & Accessories (Bicycles in general) The Curator of the National Cycle Museum charts the development of cycles and cycling in Europe and America. She follows the technical innovations and alterations in design, size and weight. Equally importantly, she reminds us of the personalities who have shaped this development, the legendary engineers and manufacturers, the pioneering female riders who endured widespread discrimination to win freedom of the roads for women, the heroic sportsmen who pushed themselves to ever greater feats of endurance in such classic events as the Tour de France. The text is accompanied throughout by a generous range of colour and black and white illustrations. (Source: AbeBooks.fr) BELL, Adrian (ed), From the Pen of J.B.

But the Californian high priest of understanding bicycle mechanics covers much, much more. The Dancing Chain is a compilation of wisdom, knowledge and learning garnered over those years - with contributions from such other distinguished writers as Tony Hadland and Jan Heine. It traces the history of bicycle gears from the 1870s onwards, with a particular focus on derailleurs. How gears work, and how they have developed technically might be the thread that runs through the book, but there is much else beside. There are the history of companies that have come and gone. The illustrations are also superb. Pretty much every page contains technical drawings, photographs, period graphics and publications from back into the day.

A collection of black-and-white images of cyclists having their legs shaved, sharing post-stage baths, relaxing with their wives and being delivered on gurneys for medical treatment. It is arranged as a series of profiles of champions from Ottavio Botteccia to Miguel Indurain, taking in Coppi, Bartali, Anquetil, Merckx and many others along the way. The essays that give the book its structure are irritatingly hagiographical.

They wanted me to use the team's philosophy as an example for running the Postal service. I never did it at the time, but I thought if I could write about it in a book I could explain it a lot better." The structure of the book reads more like a management style guide than a sport biography. Then again, one of the most common metaphorical duos in writing is the comparison of sport and business. And in that sense, the structure does work. Though written in the first person, much of the book reads like an interview in a magazine. There is a clear avoidance of anything controversial.

The hero, Romain Mariani starts the novel as the world's sixty-third best road racing cyclist. Sixty-two places above him is Hans Banquo, the winner of seven Grand Tours, three of them French. Mariani's own palmarès is not overly impressive. The novel opens somewhere in the Pyrenees with Mariani 1'51" off the leader's jersey on the penultimate stage of a short stage race. Much is about the central character making a decision and learning to live with the unintended consequences. As a read, the pace is rather pedestrian. Budds's depiction of Mariani's Eastern European home is blackly humorous and in the book's final pages he comes up with some scatological descriptions of Mariani's rivals in the novel's second race.

With this invention, bicycles became faster, easier and more comfortable to ride. So because almost everyone from the ordinary working class man and woman to royalty and the rich were purchasing bikes, bicycle manufacturers became some of the worlds’ biggest companies. Within 10 years of its inception Raleigh were employing 850 staff in its factory in Nottingham. Cycling Clubs were springing up everywhere, racing became a popular and, for some a lucrative pastime whilst touring across the world opened up new cultures, challenges and eyes for the first time. Every fact about the period is in the book from brakes to lighting problems and from individual expeditions to world dominating manufacturers.

She won the Best British All Rounder title 25 years in succession and took seven world titles. And for two years her 12 hour record stood at a greater distance than the men’s' record.

The photographs cover cycling in all its many forms, including road racing, time-trialing, cyclo-cross and touring over the past forty years. These are almost an historic and social catalogue of how the European side of cycling has developed and changed over the years.

CROWN, Judith & COLEMAN, Glenn, No Hands: The Rise and Fall of the Schwinn Bicycle Company, 1996, Henry Holt, 350 pp Category: Racing Bikes & Accessories (Manufacturing industry) In 1895 a German immigrant founded the Schwinn Bicycle Company in Chicago, Illinois. After the invention of the automobile the sale of bicycles in America declined and many of the more than 300 bicycle manufacturers were in financial difficulty. Schwinn seized the opportunity to buy up these troubled companies (and their valuable patents) and in the process built of the best known brand names in the world. At one time Schwinn Bicycle Company was as powerful and innovative as Apple is today. The book tells the story of how this once powerful company was destroyed by incompetent leadership in the 1980′s and was later forced into bankruptcy. You will probably never find a better history of the bicycle industry than in this book. You can read of how Schwinn dealt with competitors like Raleigh and upstart companies like Shimano, Trek, Cannondale, Specialized and Giant. (Source: allseasonscyclist.com)

CURTIS, Martin, Russell Mockridge, The Man in Front, 2008, Melbourne Books, 240 pp Category: Biographies (Australia) In September 1958, only minutes into a professional road race, Australia’s best cyclist, Russell Mockridge, was dead, his head and body crushed under the wheels of a bus. The death of the Olympic Gold medal list and Tour de France competitor was an embarrassment for cycling officials. On the 50th anniversary of his death Melbourne journalist Martin Curtis revisits his life and death. The author started researching and realised there was a lot of misinformation circulating about Mockridge’s life and death. He finds a literate, urbane, but shy man, an outsider in the roughand-tumble world of professional cycling. He also investigates passionately held family views that the death was not properly investigated.

DAWSON, William B, Lands’ End to John o’ Groats, 1934, Cunliffe Brothers, 254 pp Category: Biographies (United Kingdom) William Dawson was a keen cyclist and a turner by trade. At the time of setting out to cycle End to End he had been out of work for two years due to the depression. I imagine part of the motivation to undertake the trip was to try to make a bit of money from publishing a book: he had previously published a local walking guide. There was already an established tradition of cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats by this time, with a recognised route to follow. At the time this book was written the record was held by J W Rossiter, in a time of 2 days 13 hours 22 minutes. Dawson’s journey was altogether more leisurely, undertaken on a bike rescued from scrap. He had a keen interest in church architecture (but not in religion), but what makes the book so entertaining is his dry and anarchic sense of humour.

The premise was, what could be a better example of how healthy a vegetarian lifestyle was, or could be, if a top level team was developed that would eventually compete in the Tour de France that was sponsored by the Linda McCartney Foods Company? One of the major kudos behind such a venture was that all the riders, mechanics, administrative staff etc., would be vegetarian. So a team was created that was to compete in major UK races before taking in continental racing. John Deering became the team's press officer. With a very neat line in self-deprecating humour, he has managed to describe the team's joys and successes.

DUKER, Peter, Sting in the Tail, By Racing Bicycle around the World, 1973, Pelham Books, 174 pp Category: Bike (Racing) Cult The title refers, of course, to the fact that no matter how carefully you plan your route, when you are tired and near the end of your ride, you feel the sting, which could be a brutal headwind or a harder-than-expected climb. Mr. Duker hit upon the idea of taking a racing bike around the world, intending to set records for speed and distance along the way. His humorous book is based on notes he scribbled during the trip. The real story begins when he reaches Iran, and then into a whole series of Third World adventures. His goal is to ride as fast as he can and anything that stands between him and this object, or, surprisingly, between him and his nightly alcohol, is an obstacle to be overcome. The story is not all grim as he does meet with kindness along the way. Peter Duker’s arrival in the United States coincided with the ten-speed bike boom. Laughing at American bike culture, he left from Santa Monica to ensure a coast-tocoast record.

It looks particularly at the life and career of the industry's most significant personality during this era, Albert Augustus Pope. The author debunks various assumptions or understandings about bicycle production from the 1890s, such as the number of bicycles built and sold by the big companies - it wasn't so many, basically. His main point was to fit bicycle manufacturing history into its proper place between arms manufacturing and automobile mass production. The book is really intended for a specialist audience.

The Bicycle and the Bush looks at the bicycle’s use in rural Australia from 1890-1920. It is one of the most unusual, innovative explorations ever undertaken into the role of a transport device and its relationship with a society and its environment.

FITZPATRICK, Jim, Major Taylor in Australia, 2011, Star Hill Studio, 184 pp Category: Biographies (USA) * Cycle Racing History (By Country) This is a decent telling of Major Taylor's two Australian tours. The fact that the author limits himself to Taylor in Australia gives the history a richness and detail that a lot of other biographies cannot manage. One can tell that Fitzgerald has solid academic training. He does the honourable thing in refraining from reaching for the racist beating bat to dispose of this history, instead concentrating on the machinations of the Sydneybased Summer Nights' Amusements Committee.

Pedalare!, 2011, Bloomsbury Publishing, 384 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (By Country) Foot is professor of modern Italian history at University College London. There is nothing dry about his treatment of the two-wheeled sport, however - this is a history of great sporting achievement, intense rivalries and questionable tactics. He is strongest at contextualising the sport of cycling, particularly given the unusually fractured nature of Italian society. The importance of the Giro reaching Trieste in 1946 when it was unclear which side of the Iron Curtain the city would end up on is fascinating, for example, as is the extraordinary and contested story of how Gino Bartali 'saved' Italy from civil war in 1948 after the shooting of Communist leader Palmiro Togliatti. As Foot's narrative reaches the post-1945 golden age of Italian cycling, it is racing alone that dominates his story.

The research is meticulous, the recapitulation of Merckx’s races sweet reminiscences for those who witnessed them and things of wonder for those who did not. Merckx could pull the peloton apart and then drop any riders who stayed with him one by one. Fotheringham’s principal interest is in the wherewithal: how could a man accomplish them? Why did Merckx tolerate such relentless suffering? Fotheringham focuses on what he considers to be the salient characteristic: Merckx’s fear of failure. Merckx never considered his victories in the grands tours until the finishing line was crossed. That is why he attacked and attacked, even when nobody else doubted that he would win.

FRIEBE, Daniel, Eddy Merckx, The Cannibal, 2012, Ebury Press, 352 pp Category: Biographies (Belgium) Friebe isn’t just offering a portrait of Merckx himself, he offers portraits of some of the men Merckx raced with and against. Understand them – understand the era they raced in – and maybe you can begin to understand Merckx himself. It’s racing against Merckx, being defeated by Merckx, that has added the most to their stories. Friebe’s Merckx is imperfect – this no God sent among us, to show a better way and be idolised. Rather he’s a man like everyone else: an outstandingly gifted athlete who was at times fragile, at times supremely confident; and at times a cold, hard despot surrounded by lieutenants who ruled with an iron fist. But at the same time, he’s different. Merckx turned weakness into a strength. Friebe’s portrait of Merckx is one of light and shade, one that helps to redefine Merckx for a twenty-first-century cycling audience.

The text is understandably on the dry side, but it’s not all listings and part numbers, and the final chapters include some useful reprints from the Moultoneer magazine, covering suspension overhaul and general trouble-shooting. Several riders were actively supported by Moulton. Coventry CC pursuit team were unstoppable on the track, their Moultons allowing them to keep in a tight group to reduce aerodynamic drag; road riders benefited from the reduced aerodynamic drag of the small wheels and, with reputation established, the Moulton became acceptable to the most discerning club cyclists. The UCI does not any longer permit Moultons in road-racing events but they are still used in time-trials and for ultra-distance events.

Heine and Pradères went to visit bicycle collections in France and the US and selected - with a few exceptions for historically important bikes - the most original examples they could find of touring/long distance/city bikes. Models between 1910 and 2003 are covered in chronological order on 2–4 pages each. The text talks about not only the bikes but how they fit into their times, the people that made them, and, to varying degrees, technical and construction features.

Originally, cycling in Ireland was organised by two internationally recognised bodies, the Irish Cycling Federation (founded 1954) in the Republic and the Northern Ireland Cycling Federation (founded in 1949) in Northern Ireland. Alongside these was a third body, the National Cycling Association (founded in 1932), which operated on an all-island basis. Tensions between the three organisations were overcome in 1979 by a tripartite agreement, under which a new, internationally recognised all-Ireland body, the Federation of Irish Cyclists, appeared five years later. But this did not end the matter, and the paper discusses the failure of Northern Ireland Cycling Federation members to endorse this solution, the resulting split, and continuing efforts by that organisation (both before and after the 1998 Good Friday agreement) to define itself as a British- rather than an Irish-linked body.

(Source: Kyle Schmidt, Goodreads.com) HOY, Chris, Chris Hoy: The Autobiography, How I lived the Dream and became Olympic Champion, 2009, HarperSport, 352 pp Category: Biographies (United Kingdom) The book is well-paced, well written and very easy to read, and while there are no startling confessions or skeletons leaping out of closets, Chris comes across as the down to earth character he still is. The book leads up to the Olympics in Beijing and the subsequent celebrations and knighthood, but then almost jumps forward to Valentines Day, 2009 and that accident at Copenhagen that took Hoy out for a lengthy part of this year. We now know that he does actually eat bran flakes for breakfast, how many calories are in those thigh muscles, and the rather incredible fact that his maximum power output on the track is a few mere watts under 2500. That said, this is an enjoyable life's story. (Source: thewashingmachinepost) Observation: this book was updated in 2010, and then again in 2012 to include Sir Chris Hoy's golds at London 2012.

Pages of jersey after jersey, with some pages covered in rows of twelve and others with just one significant jersey and an accompanying description. The jerseys are categorized according to rider, with the book split up into sections according to races and regions. The section for the USA was added to the original Dutch version of the book by Bill "Bike Guy Humphreys, and is split into sections according to clubs, races and even "Greg Lemond". This makes for a frustrating experience for those looking to quickly find team jerseys (the index is according to rider), but it makes for a glorious experience for someone taking their time to discover the quirky and eccentric history of cycling jersey sponsorship. It's the completeness of the book that makes it so enjoyable. The sections that are translated from the Dutch version do seem as if they have been run through a Fabian Cancellara translator, but to me that just adds to the Euro charm of the book. The book also concentrates on a lot of riders from the Netherlands. (Source: nyvelocity.com)

I was more excited to learn the outcome of this fictional Tour de France than of last year’s real one. The novel describes the sheer agony of riding more than 3000 miles in the blistering heat of July, with (for most riders) little or no chance for much money, fame, or glory, but plenty of dreams.

HURNE, Ralph, They’ll never catch you now, 2007, Cycle Publishing / Van der Plas Publications, 200 pp Category: Novels/Short Stories It's more than 30 years since Ralph Hurne brought cycle racing's Terry Davenport to public attention. Now he's back - a year after his near-win of the Tour de France, albeit with reluctance to face the gruelling effort of sport's ultimate challenge. Hurne has a fine line in understated humour that highlights both frailties and egos. His characters use wit to survive in a world where a man on a bike is both gladiator and a businessman's pawn. This is a novel to read on several levels. It casts a critical eye on the world of celebrity, juggles values, tiptoes unwittingly on the edge of crime, and gets to the heart of the human condition - how to make something of one's life before it's too late.

The Hour isn’t just one of many records. This one is unique for being based on the inversion of the standard. Everyone must suffer for the same duration. And those who have moved that distance ever farther comprise a who’s who of cycling:

Anquetil, Indurain, Boardman, Moser and, of course, Merckx. Though Hutchinson largely focuses on himself (and the attendant difficulties that come along with trying to break cycling’s purest record – booking track time, building a legal bike, finding the fastest tires) it’s his constant references to past record holders and attempts that really make for compelling reading. Hutchinson does a superb job of tying the history of the hour record in with his own memoir. (Source: willssupernerdyreviews.blogspot.be) Observation: reprint in 2010.

A beautifully presented homage to the bicycle and a bit of a revelatory read. Its hardback covers are bursting with amazing art and design, and we have to admit we weren’t conscious of just how much inspiration this this two-wheeled mode of transport has provided to artists of all genres. The amount of work in this book is simply staggering. The author has compiled over 900 artworks from a range of international artists including Swoon, Catherine Mackey, Taliah Lempert, Mike Giant, Boris Indrikov, Jennifer Davis, Kevin Cyr, Duane Flatmo and many more. With chapters devoted to sculpture, design, illustration, street art, paintings, tattoos as well as art that decorates bike frames of all shapes and sizes, you’d be hard pressed to find something that doesn’t excite even those who have only a passing interest in the world of cycling.

The riders reach speeds of 300 kilometres an hour thanks to their diet of Perpetual Motion Food, a volatile mixture of alcohol and strychnine. The race is a key episode in 'The Supermale', a French novel written in 1902, which speculates on how our minds and bodies may be overwhelmed by technology. The author, Alfred Jarry, was fascinated by bicycles, and they often appeared in often shocking writings. He was also notorious for his wild eccentricity and took to wearing at all times the tight shirt and loose trousers of a racing cyclist. 'The Supermale' is a macabre, futuristic novel. A prophetic aspect of the passage is the depiction of the race as debased and dehumanised by technological and commercial pressures. Moser's Hour Record a few years back has some uncanny similarities to Jarry's race described 86 years ago.

Johanson then traces his childhood and initial forays into sports; his professional early successes and mentors; his 1996 diagnosis and subsequent treatment for testicular cancer; and finally his return to racing and unprecedented successes at the Tour de France. She touches upon his family life, performance enhancing drug allegations, the Livestrong Foundation which Armstrong founded to aid cancer patients, and his return to cycling after three years in retirement.

Embedded with Garmin-Cervélo for its entire 2011 season, writer-photographer Mark Johnson brilliantly chronicles the team's most intimate personal dramas and its public celebrations. More than a book about racing, Argyle Armada is a portrait of life as a member of a pro cycling team during a time of painful transition for the sport.

Karsch confronts the embodiment of the ideal DDR citizen, the famous racing cyclist and member of parliament, Achim. And Achim's relationship to his country was incomprehensible to Karsch - this was what he wanted to write about. Karsch's decision receives unexpected support from an unlikely source when East-German officials offer to sponsor the authorship of a third book about Achim, since the two previous ones must be considered biased in favor of the East-German viewpoint by non-communist countries. The conflict in Johnson's novel results from the interaction among the three parties—biographer, his subject, and the DDR authorities. Each seeks to insure that a truthful account of Achim's life from his standpoint will be presented to the public. The kind of truth which each of the participants strives to endow the

What Steve Joughin lacked in stature, he more than made up for with natural talent. An explosive sprinter, he was instrumental in smashing the Eastern Bloc supremacy of the Milk Race and leading British cycling into a golden age. When his career ended prematurely, and the thrill of victory was gone, Steve struggled to adapt to life away from the winner's podium and he turned to drink to help fill the void.

The first in the series tells the story of Phil O'Shea, the greatest of them all. Born in 1889, O'Shea's quiet, unassuming persona was juxtaposed by an extraordinary athletic ability. He won every track and road cycling title he set his mind to. He went to Australia and won their road championships three years straight. After 1923, he concentrated on track racing.

KIMMAGE, Paul, A Rough Ride, An insight into Pro Cycling, 1990, Stanley Paul, 199 pp Category: Biographies (Ireland) Kimmage was a professional cyclist, riding for a major European team, in the late 1980s. It is a painful picture that he paints – insufficient money to eat and a lonely life in miserable, shared flats. Part of his reason for writing the book is to expose the drugs culture in the sport – and to do this, he made himself a persona non grata with many of his former colleagues. Kimmage is all passion, shuddering with a tempered rage at the injustice of what was allowed happen to cycling. The sincerity of Kimmage's story of lost innocence shines through that rage. (Sources: cyclingbooks.com & podiumcafe.com) Observation: An updated version was published in 1998 under a new title (“A Rough Ride: Behind the Wheel with a Pro Cyclist, Yellow Press, 261 pp). In the new intro and outro added to the 1998 edition, Kimmage ran through the rise of Gen-EPO and the inaction that that was met with by the authorities. He also ran through some off the fallout from the book's publication, particularly here in Ireland. In a new edition issued in 2007, Kimmage added a fresh, brief intro in which he said he really wanted to write "a 10,000-word opus on Lance Armstrong: 'How Professional Cycling Got The Champion It Deserved.'" Instead he added an eloquent and poignant obituary for Thierry Claveyrolat, a former team-mate and friend.

KRABBE, Tim, The Rider, 2002, Bloomsbury Publishing, 160 pp Category: Novels/Short Stories Krabbé is probably best known in this country as the author of the novel adapted as the film The Vanishing, but in his native Netherlands. The Rider is his bestselling book. As a young man, Krabbé's forte was chess - in his late teens, he was inside the top 20 players in Holland - and he only discovered a talent for cycle-racing relatively late in life, in his 30s. That new-found passion eventually found its way into this autobiographical novella about a bike race in south-west France, but the chess knowledge still figures as Krabbé narrates the intricate battle of tactics and psychology as the race plays itself out against the bleak landscape of les causses. Like much of Krabbé's oeuvre, The Rider has a strange, dark, philosophical flavour: it is both a paean to pain and a hymn to the fellowship of the road. Nothing better is ever likely to be written on the subjective experience of cycle-racing. (Source: Matt Seaton, guardian.co.uk)

Perhaps that reflects the fact that they were based not in Nottingham, London or the West Midlands but in the relative obscurity of Barton-on-Humber. Reading this excellent book, you will discover that Elswick-Hopper and its related and descendant companies actually occupied a major place in the pantheon of cycle making, involving also in later years Coventry-Eagle, Falcon, Claud Butler, Dawes and the German firm Heidemann. The author is editor of the Veteran-Cycle Club’s journal The Boneshaker. He spent a decade researching the subject very thoroughly. His handsome hardback is copiously illustrated with monochrome photographs. The human, manufacturing and financial aspects are well covered, as are the company’s post WW2 attempts to innovate, such as the Convincible with its twin top-tubes, down-tubes and seat-tubes, and the glass-fibre clad Scooped. Separate appendices cover Elswick’s ventures into car making and motorcycle production. This is, without doubt, one of the best histories of a bicycle company yet produced. (hadland.wordpress.com).

Fry, Library Journal) LEE, Daniel, The Belgian Hammer, Forging Young Americans into Professional Cyclists, 2011, Breakaway Books, 208 pp, Foreword by Georges Hincapie Category: Pro-life * Cycle Racing History (By Country) "The Tour de France may be the pinnacle of cycling, but Belgium is the sport’s greatest and most grueling classroom." Thus for years the United States has been sending many of its more promising racers to the small nation in northwest Europe in order to gain international experience and test themselves against the world’s best. The author draws some from his own experience racing in Europe as a young American in the early 1990s, but the vast majority of the book follows the current crop of neo-pros and hopefuls from the United States, both men and women. While Europe may be the arena in which these racers realize their full potential, the story does not end there, as the author follows the paths of Phinney, Holloway, King, etc., back to the States where all they have learned in Europe is put on display before the home crowd.

He opened his first shop in 1888 at 271 Belgrave Gate, Leicester. In 1890 he moved to larger premises at 296 Belgrave Gate, then in 1900 to 285-287 Belgrave Gate. The company was put on a proper financial footing in 1897 when Henry formed a partnership with his sons, calling the company H. Curry & Sons. The business continued to grow and floated on the stock exchange in 1927. By this time the shops sold a wide variety of goods including bicycles, toys, radios and gramophones. Currys pulled out of cycle manufacturing in 1932 when they closed their Leicester factory but continued to retail Hercules bikes (badged as Currys) until the 1960s.

Books of Phil LIGGETT Phil Liggett is the most popular English speaking cycling commentator. In his younger days, he was an aspiring cycle racer and wrote articles for local cycling magazines. His racing colleagues would often secretly tell Phil when they were planning a breakaway, and let him join the break, letting him do no work in the break. They did this so that Phil would write about them in his next article. At one point, Phil was even offered a modest pro contract and declined, because he realised he had a brighter future in sports journalism. What sets Phil aside from the rest is his poetic language and often subtle allusions. His knowledge of cycling is immense, and his passion for the sport is infectious.

Primarily concerned with the significance of the cycle as an agent of social change, he devotes a great deal of attention not only to advances in cycling technologies, but their impact on transportation, commerce, social recreation and status.

Category: Cycle Racing History (By Country) The book has eight brief chapters and four (mainly statistical) appendices. Following two chapters that provide an overview of early cycling developments in Australia and overseas, the next four chapters examine the introduction of the bicycle to the Queanbeyan district in 1871, its role in various family activities and local businesses. The advent of the Canberra Cycling Club in 1926 is covered, and Malpass is on much firmer ground here as she uses information in the appendices to support her examination of racing activities on local tracks and on the road. Malpass then moves on to discuss the building of Canberra's 'ill-fated' velodrome in 1972. The final two chapters outline the crucial role of the Canberra Tradesmen's Union Club in establishing a home for the Canberra Bicycle Museum, and the subsequent opening of the Australian Cycling History Resource Centre in 1998 is also highlighted.

Partitioned into thematic sections, the history of Bianchi is described through the method of direct timeline, before cutting to the chase: bicycle racing. Through the teams who adopted the marque as their chariots of fire. The author’s narrative is impressive, not only for the research that has obviously been undertaken, but for the plethora of superb photography that he has unearthed to document the early days of Bianchi bicycles. In the absence of a foreword, the book includes an interview with Felice Gimondi.

He was a prime mover in the British League of Racing Cyclists (BLRC), the organisation that founded road-racing along European lines on British roads after the war. In 1958, he was chosen to be the organiser

of the Tour of Britain. In 1958, Messenger became the national road-race team manager. He was a unique character, cavalier if minor rules got in the way. On one occasion when he had exceeded the limit for rider numbers on the track, and an official turned up, he simply told the cyclists to "keep moving, lads" so that they could not be counted. He was utterly dedicated to the advancement of his sport.

(Source: antiqbook.com) MESSENGER, Chas, Ride and be damned, 1998, Pedal Publishing, 150 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (By Country) Racing was a part of cycling from the beginning, but in the UK it attracted extraordinary persecution by the police and in 1894 racing on the roads was actually banned. Thus, while road racing flourished on the European mainland, in Britain it ceased. In 1937 the NCU and the RTTC formally agreed to outlaw it for good. Chas Messenger's grasp of history doesn't always follow a chronological pattern, and bits of it are sometimes vague, but we get the general picture. It's an unedifying story, immensely convoluted, and it's no surprise that Chas's account isn't always clear. Those who remember Chas's earlier books will be familiar with his intensely personal style, but he's always an entertaining and exciting writer who never allows himself to worry unduly about such obstacles as spelling, grammar, punctuation and overuse of inverted commas.

This book came out on the eve of the Beijing games, so takes the story up to the British team’s crushing performance at the world track championships in Manchester 2008. So complete was their demolition of the opposition, that Moore confidently concludes with a promise that there will be much, much more from Hoy. How right he proved to be. Moore is a diligent journalist who is successful at rooting out the early twists and turns in Hoy’s life: his attitude to BMX racing; the emergence of a dedicated track cycling team in Edinburgh in the early 1980s; and, his relationship with his trainers. Moore certainly appears to come close to nailing what makes Hoy special – a fantastic raw talent, married to an obsessive zeal for training. Does Moore answer the central question, however?

MOORE, Richard, Sky’s the Limit, British Cycling's Quest to Conquer the Tour De France, 2011, 352 pp Categories: Cycle Racing History (By Country) * Tour de France History (Overviews) * Cycle Racing Teams This book might be the inside story of the formation of Team Sky, but it's not an authorised account, which makes it all the more believable. Moore gained enviable access to all the key players. He spent months on the road and in training camps with Sky riders and management in the lead up to the 2010 Tour. As a result, he provides a thorough background to the Sky story – from the 2007 Tour (Bradley Wiggins' second Tour riding for Cofidis) through to the emergence of Mark Cavendish and Geraint Jones at the British cycling academy. Central to it all is British Cycling head honcho Dave Brailsford, who drove the development of the team from concept through to reality. Moore lifts the lid on the tense early days when – months out from the 2010 Tour – the team was leaderless, with Wiggins still tied to Garmin and Cavendish re-signed for HTC-Columbia. Moore recounts the team's apparent 'no-stone-left-unturned' preparations for the 2010 Tour.

The author traces each story line to its source through innumerable interviews—not only with LeMond and Hinault in their own homes but also with teammates, rivals, race directors, journalists, sponsors, and promoters. Told from these many perspectives, the alliances, tirades, and broken promises divulged build to the stunning climax of the 1986 Tour de France.

This is a book on the history of the world's most famous racing-bike and component manufacturers. You will discover the beautifully illustrated story of the artisans and visionary sportspeople who joined forces to create two-wheeled legends. From the cradle of road biking on the plains of northern Italy to the birthplace of mountain biking, Marin County, California, Bike! unmasks the soul behind names like Colnago, Shimano and Campagnolo. Distributed throughout the book are special doublepage photographic features on ten landmark bikes that were the first to introduce groundbreaking technology, from Maurice Garin's Ondiana cycle in the first Tour de France of 1903 to the Team Sky Pinarello Dogma of 2010.

MOORE, Tim, French Revolutions: Cycling the Tour De France, 2002, Yellow Jersey Press/Random House, 288 p Categories: Humour * Tour de France Cult A hilariously unforgettable account of Moore's attempt to conquer the Tour de France. "Conquer" may not be quite the right word. He cheats when he can, pops the occasional hayfever pill for an ephedrine rush (a fine old Tour tradition), sips cheap wine from his water bottle, and occasionally weeps on the phone to his wife. But along the way he gives readers an account of the race's colorful history and greatest heroes: Eddy Merckx, Greg Lemond, Lance Armstrong, and even Firmin Lambot, aka the "Lucky Belgian," who won the race at the age of 36. And if that isn't enough, his account of a rural France tarting itself up for its moment in the spotlight leaves popular quaint descriptions of small towns in Provence in the proverbial dust. If you either love or hate the French, or both, this is the book for you. French Revolutions is Tim Moore's funniest book to date. It is also one of the funniest sports books ever written.

The book is organised in a year-by-year narrative. The club played a critical role in the development of time trailing. Indeed, it championed longer time trails. For many years, it would consider no distance of less that 50 miles being worth the effort of organising an event. As the narrative gets closer to the time of publication, the detail does get thinner.

Muenzer persevered, kept her mind on the track, and won the Olympic Gold. Competitive cycling is about pain, punishment and speed. On the road to the winner's podium, Muenzer suffered more than her share of pain. Her determination will inspire anyone who faces challenges in his or her life.

Modernity is his grand theme. This is an unconventional book. The bicycle did not become an enduring mode of transportation for the masses in Canada nor long persist as an object of desire among young well-to-do Anglos. Bicycle mania was short-lived, peaking in the late 1890s. By the late 1890s the bicycle had no place to go, in terms of style, price cuts, or technical improvements. Soon the automobile caught the fancy. The author also discusses club facilities, racetracks, and photographers’ studios— places where cyclists showed off equipment. Norcliffe ties most of his book’s sections into his understanding of carrier waves and modernity. His narrative building blocks for the modernity, discussions of bicycle components and their evolution, accessories, corporate consolidation.(Source: John C.

Founded in 1878 to encourage a novel means to transport, after a faltering start, the CTC swelled as the bicycle became a craze. The skin of its teeth survived the twentieth century as the slings and arrows of motorised modernism reigned down upon its members and today, by some miracle it is bigger and stronger than ever. At the time of publication, Oakley had clocked up half a century on the CTC's council and was serving as the organisation's president. A journalist, author and broadcaster by trade, it is easy to see why he was entrusted with marking this anniversary. Being integral to the administration of the club for some many years, however, is not the best background for dispassionate historian. Nonetheless, it is an amazing tale that he traces.

In his time he set a series of momentous records for endurance cycling. He single-handedly created a profile for the sport of cycling in Australia that it did not enjoy before. Following his retirement he joined the Liberal Party and was elected to the Australian Federal Parliament in 1949 representing the seat of Corio. In 1960 he was appointed Minister for Shipping and Transport in the Federal Government and in 1963 Minister for Immigration. Opperman's life is well documented in his autobiography.

At the start of the fourth and final lap was a pitch of rocky, loose trail that went straight up the face of a ski run. My Swiss rival had been dismounting and running this climb while I stayed on my bike. On previous laps, I'd opened a little gap, so I knew this would be my chance. I attacked when Thomas got off again. He never caught me. To ride that steep trail, I had to use five climbing techniques.”

Joe Parkin left his native United States as a teenage amateur in 1986 and rode in Belgium until the end of the 1991 season - clocking up five years as a pro. His working life consisted of smaller stage races, a handful of classics, and a steady diet of kermesses. He won nothing, rarely placed in even the top ten, and only occasionally put in efforts for the team that merit recording. Despite this, he did achieve something exceptional. Simply to have propelled himself to Flanders and made a life there required a singular determination and courage. He has also produced a readable, and affecting memoir of his time chasing the peloton through the Flemish wind. There is not much in this book, apart from cycling. By recording his two-wheeled travails, however, he as probably done more to make a lasting mark than did most of the journeyman rouleurs.

Disillusioned, Joe is ready to hang up his cleats when he is offered a contract with a pro mountain bike team. The book is a rare, frank, and intimate sports memoir. Parkin's writing style is self-deprecating, refreshing, and has a gritty honesty which is demonstrated again in this new memoir.

The bike mechanics also have to do things like wash the team vehicles, and bikes. He discusses what goes into setting up the bikes for particular races.

between the sexes and the attention given to her peers. Pendleton grows to hate cycling. Bikes themselves begin to seem like instruments of self-harm and her relationship with pain degrades. She tries to retire in 2010 but is persuaded to stay on until the London Olympics. Retirement cannot come too soon for her. When, as Pendleton points out, your day-job consists of riding around a big room in circles, "like crazy people on bikes without brakes ... churning and turning (y)our legs in quiet desperation," and then those repetitions are turned round and round in print, a definite sense of déjà vu begins to set in, both for reader and for rider. That same sense of hurtling towards a longed-for ending pervades the final chapters of this book. The formula conforms, as it always does (she gets her second gold and walks out towards the lights), but in Pendleton's case, you really do end up wondering if it's going to be happy ever after.

So a trip to a wheel builder deep in cycling's Californian hippy subculture leads him seamlessly to the birth of the mountain bike, conceived accidentally by a little group in Marin County who adapted city bikes to race down an insanely steep mountain fire trail. That is not a new story, but it's worth the retelling. So too is the diversion around makers of Italian gadgets such as the flamboyant artists of Cinelli, makers of mint-flavoured feeding bottles ("smells better than plastic, yes?").

cycling. The rhythm of US cycle development is unique – and has much to tell us about the development of manufactured goods in advanced capitalism. During the first cycling boom of the 1880s, Colonel Alexander Pope manufactured the countries’ first bicycles – high ordinaries, as penny farthings were known. But even then, Pope demonstrated some of the attributes that would define US manufacturing. He was an early enthusiast for mechanised mass production and invested heavily in publicity. It was one of Pope’s protégés, Charles Pratt, who started to pay attention to cycling clubs which he organised under the umbrella of the League of American Wheelman. During the 1930s, it was the development of a wholly new take on the two wheeled transport that revived the sector. Rather than focus on their function, Frank Schwinn concentrated on creating bikes that would capture childrens’ imaginations. The story of the 1970s lightweight boom, BMXs and mountain bikes is touched on at the end of the book, but its real focus is the period up to 1980.

The book focuses on the European theater, but integrates the growing American presence in international cyclocross as well. Using the riders and their ethos as a starting point, the story widens to encompass archetypal themes of character, ethics, ambition, and perseverance. The book chronicles what it takes to reach the top of the sport by immersing readers in the lives of the sport’s stars. By getting inside the stories and lives of the riders (specifically Sven Nys, Erwin Vervecken, Bart Wellens, Lars Boom, Jonathan Page, and Ryan Trebon), the story becomes universal, archetypal, and timeless.

As one who participated in many of the events described, I think that it is pretty accurate and balanced on the whole. Prouty's writing style is similar to the persona that he normally presents: thoughtful, subdued, and a bit guarded - he almost never kicks ass, though he does take soft jabs at most members of the USCF Board of Directors, both individually and collectively, including me. While the book touches on some of the conflict-of-interest finagles in which directors frequently indulge themselves, Prouty carefully skips the really crooked deals. He apparently is not looking for trouble, though he may find it anyway. There are few heroes in this book. The author is one, of course, though he kicks himself a few times. I wish to affirm that the book’s contents are largely accurate, informative and rather entertaining, at least to someone who cares.

It was formed as a strictly all-male club in 1889 when the Victorian cycling boom was getting under way. After the Second World War the De Laune played a major part in a nationwide cycling revival. However, this book is not just about the history of a cycling club. The fortunes of the De Laune CC over the past hundred years mirror the dramatic changes in the social life of Britain which have taken place in that time. From the “penny-farthing” races and garden parties of the 1890s to the discos and women’s road races of the 1980s, the social historian and general reader - as well as the cycling enthusiast - will find much of interest here.

Relations on a professional cycling squad are essentially feudal: the serf exists to serve his master. The beauty of Rendell's brief book is that he has secured the cooperation of a real-life domestique, the Colombian Victor Hugo Peña, who was a key member of Lance Armstrong's US Postal squad on his way to a fifth Tour win. Through Peña's transcribed first-person accounts of racing for Lance, Rendell places us right in the midst of the swarming bunch. In his choice of Peña, who proves an unusually articulate subject, Peña himself won the leader's yellow jersey. Three days later, Peña was back in 103rd place - because he had dedicated himself to protecting the interests of his leader, Armstrong. Rendell could not have found a more precise illustration of the pathos of the domestique's debt of duty and his sacrifice.

During the Second World War, he boxed and trafficked arms for the Resistance on his bicycle. After it, he became an international cyclist. In 1948, a mile from the end of the Olympic road race around Windsor Park, he broke away alone to take the gold medal and started an adventure that would last the rest of his life. A Tour de France rider in the sport's golden age, Jose was invited to open a new velodrome in Colombia, South America. He travelled, intending to stay a month. Instead, driven by his thirst for adventure, he stayed for fifty years, becoming by turns athlete, coach, businessman, emerald-trader, logger, smuggler, perhaps even hired killer.

The first 16 pages contain the author's introduction, followed by detailed notes on each poster that include the artist and original size, as well as a small black/white reproduction, acknowledgements, and a bibliography. The author notes in the Introduction that the year of publication of this book marked the approximate 100th anniversary of two technologies: colour lithography and the bicycle. This founding and parallel growth is evidenced through the bicycle posters. Some general trends in bicycle poster production are noted: that prior to 1900, the posters were wild and extreme in their design and claims, which reflected the revolutionary and liberating nature of the bicycle; that women abound in the posters, representing both femininity and freedom; that the posters often depicted allegorical and mythological figures, which reflected both the classical training of many of the artists, and the use of popular motifs of gods and goddesses to reach the public.

In 1886, when the Catford Cycling Club was founded, bicycles were expensive. Cycle racing was extremely popular. Races took place on the streets in and around Catford and people came in their thousands to watch. To accommodate this popular sport, the Club in 1894 was able to build a cycle racing track which was the first banked racing track in England and the largest in Europe, with just three laps to the mile. Dubbed ‘the best cycle track in Europe’ by the press, it was soon established as a training centre for amateurs and professionals. However, for many reasons, including the start of the Boer War and the invention of the motorbike, public interest in the sport, and club membership, declined.

He has managed to pull off the tricky task of making you somewhat sympathetic towards the taciturn Dane. From the off Pedersen wrong-foots you by offering a story from shortly after Riis’s May 2007 confession, a story which makes you realise there is a real person behind the façade. At the end of the book the picture that emerges of Riis is that of a proud and pragmatic man whose ambition has allowed him to fight his way to get to where he is today. Riis’s pride allows him to accept full responsibility for all that he did and not paint himself as a victim of a sport out of control. His attitude to doping, both as a rider and a manager, has been pragmatic. Stages of Light & Dark itself is a mix of pride – Riis still cherishes his Tour victory – and pragmatism. That pragmatism allows Riis to talk about things fans want to know – his own doping, his relationship with the likes of Sastre, the Schlecks and Contador – but that should not cause you to confuse this with a confessional autobiography: Riis is still keeping an awful lot of his story back. And, in many ways, there is more darkness than light in Stages of Light and Dark. (Source: cyclismas.com)

Firstly, the ambivalent nature of the bicycle, both as a tool of sport and recreation and also as a method of practical utility transportation; and, secondly, the inextricable relationship between bicycle sport as both competition and recreation and the emerging bicycle industry and wider patterns of commerce and consumption. The 19th century cycling ‘industrial complex’ presents a well-developed, early historical example of a ‘modern’ sport used to market constantly changing products to consumers.

This defiant promise was made 16 years ago on the day that it was confirmed that Les Roberts had Parkinson's disease. In the summer of 2008 he would put this proclamation to its toughest test. For Les, a runner who had won the Masters 5,000 metres World Championship in 1985, and cyclist who had earlier competed successfully at senior level, riding from Land's End to John O'Groats in 12 days would be a real challenge - particularly at the age of 64. This book is Les's account of the highs and lows of what would be a journey of determination and rediscovery. Part travelogue, part cyclist's tale and part memoire, it is a story of courage, endeavour - and some very memorable puddings!

With the likes of Robert Millar and Paul Sherwen passing through its doors prior to Roche, the club was something of a finishing school for English-speaking pros. Roche displayed the tenacity and adaptability that would define his career, settling in immediately, embracing the culture, soaking up the language and gobbling up race wins. While most people focus on his famous year in 1987, it's often forgotten just how precocious a cyclist Roche was early on in his career. There's plenty here for newcomers to the Roche story, but those already familiar with the events of 1987 – the bulk of the story here – might leave disappointed. That's not to say there's nothing new. The final chapters, where Roche reveals his life after retirement – the struggles for employment, finding his place in the world, the breakdown of his marriage – are by far the most interesting.

Bob Roll, a former pro cyclist and Tour competitor himself, lends an authenticity and enthusiasm to the subject that makes for an entertaining and informative read. The production values are similar to last year's edition as well. Some of last year's typos have been fixed. The only real reason not to recommend this book is that so much of it is taken from last year's edition.

To explain how this happened, Rosen links two disparate periods. In the first, from 1930 to 1939, Raleigh expanded its production fourfold and sent bicycles to every corner of the world. During the second, from 1988 to 1999, the firm failed to grasp the surging popularity of the mountain bike and resolve its own internal dysfunction. Rosen connects the two through a Marxist analysis that identifies both as episodic periods of productive crisis. Rosen's Marxist perspective gives him a sharp eye for labor, and his portrayal of the daily experience of the shop-floor worker within the bicycle industry of the period is the best I have read. It is vivid, perceptive, and well supported by archival and cultural documentation. Raleigh crumbled. Rosen finds the result tragic and expresses a hope that, by managing the process of technological development, repetition can be avoided. In the end, he proves to be a liberal utopian, with a faith that the manipulation of technological frames will lead us away from the

Both everyday riders and pros tell their stories of freak accidents, animals attacks, sabotage, idiotic decisions, eerie or unexplained incidents, and other jaw-dropping, adrenaline-pumping calamaties. These stories bring to life the strange possibilities that await us once we step on the pedals of our road, mountain, or commuter bikes.

And, it is true that the male-self-discovery-through-obsessive-activity story has been applied to pretty much every imaginable leisure pursuit. But, it is a format that the author takes to a new level. This is part because of his talent and intelligence, part because the period of his life that he chronicles contains a narrative that is truly heart wrenching. By the end of the book, Seaton's 33 year old wife, has died from breast cancer. Even without that, his lyrical description of his transition from boyhood with his second-hand Raleigh Jubilee, to being a creditable amateur racer, and then finding that he had to devote more time to his family, makes this book an enduring pleasure. His observations are illuminating on dozens of tiny matters of cycling interest: the tactile qualities of tubular tyres; the social dynamics of the club run and; cycle apparel before and after Lycra.

SERGENT, Pascal, A Century of Paris Roubaix 1896-1996, 1996, Bromley Books, 400 pp Category: One-day Races Paris-Roubaix’s history into words is done like the race itself, beginning at the beginning and slogging through every cobbled, rutted, nasty, miserable year from 1896 to 1995, listing the palmares of every winner and listing the top ten finishers of every race with detailed descriptions of what happened to whom at which juncture. The real treasure in reading this book lies in the details. Sergent’s annual recaps bring life to the small things that make the race a monument. For many years the first big split in the race occurred at a hill in Doullens, and the split there was often the deciding move of the race. It wasn’t until 1968 that the Arenberg Trench made its first appearance. These and numerous other fine points show how the race has fluctuated and shifted over the years. The awesome thing about the coffee table book format is that it’s filled with pictures; fantastic ones.

The bicycle eventually came to symbolise freedom in diverse ways. The dual-purpose nature of the bicycle (i.e., as a mode of transport and as a recreational tool) enabled women to become more physically and geographically mobile, as well as to pursue new directions in leisure. As a symbol of the 'New Woman', the bicycle graphically represented a threat to the proprieties governing the behaviour and movements of respectable middle-class women in public. Cycling presented two dilemmas for respectable women: how could they cycle and retain their respectability? And, should a respectable woman risk damaging herself, physically and morally, for such a capricious activity as cycling?

His focus is on the “impact of the bicycle on American life” – in other words, he looks in the cultural production around bicycles at the turn of the century to see if he can find seeds of later events. Smith includes reams of fascinating and wellsupported details that make this book totally worthwhile. Although Smith claims to be an impartial researcher and not an activist, his work serves an activist function in that it re-inscribes the bicycle within discourses of technology, politics, and “Progress,” and thus portrays bicyclists as (onetime) agents of cultural change.

Strickland was consumed by demons left over from an abusive father. For the most part, through his life, he was able to keep the demons in check. But once he became a husband and a father, he became fearful that his demons will ruin everything he helped build. He feels sure the curse of his childhood will cause him to turn into his father. Even when he discovered that cycling helped keep the demons in check, he was still afraid that they signified a curse which doomed him to failure. Which is why when his daughter innocently asks if he can score 10 points in his crit season, he says yes, hoping it will help banish the demons and break the curse.

H., Early Bicycles, 1966, Hugh Evelyn, 14 pp Category: Racing Bikes & Accessories (Bicycles in general) An enormously attractive large format book of detailed plates showing a dozen early bicycles, accompanied by a good, short history of cycles up to the early years of the twentieth century. This was possibly published for educational use and the images of the book are still serving just that purpose in this rather good classroom aid. The draftsmanship of the illustrator, Alan Oshbar, is exceptional. He achieves an extraordinary level of detail - so much so, that it would almost be possible to rebuild one of these machines from blueprints. Sumner's potted history is also very strong. He avoids the obviously potholes that lie between Dumfriesshire, Coventry and Paris, as well as providing some fantastic specks of detail.

Little wonder. The 24-year-old cyclist was among the best five or six riders in the world. Competing in the UK, France, and Australia, he could beat pretty much all comers in distances from quarter of a mile to ten miles - and was rarely out of the top three. The book is a competent chronicle of his racing career, assembled largely form contemporaneous newspaper accounts, but there is little in the way of cultural contextualisation or the testimony of contemporaries. Incidentally, for those not familiar with the club, the Polytechnic Cycling Club is a venerable, and still extant institution that was spun out of Regent Street Polytechnic (known subsequently as Westminster Polytechnic and The University of Westminster).

In the post-war era only Balmamion and the three greats Coppi, Merckx and Indurain, have successfully defended the fabled maglia rosa.

not written a book about Fausto Coppi, at least not in the sense that you'd immediately recognize because the book is about Coppi by filling in everything around the campionissimo. This he has brought to pass by scurrying the length and breadth of Italy, interviewing as many riders as he could find who touched the career of Coppi. But it is more than likely that it is the photographs occupying the bulk of the book's pages that will be the principal attraction. (Source: thewashingmachinepost)

Geoff Thomas felt the need to repay the doctors and nurses who cared for him, and the thousands of other leukaemia sufferers throughout the UK. So how would you go about raising a shed load of money for just such a charitable concern? Ride the Tour de France? I thought not, but that's exactly what Thomas and his hearty band of supporters and fellow cyclists decided to do in July 2005, the same year another former cancer sufferer won his seventh tour in a row. The Geoff Thomas Foundation peloton set off several days before the real Tour de France and cycled every single stage; all 21 of them. Riding through the storm is based on the 2005 Tour de France; each chapter heading refers to the daily stages of that year's event, but the narrative following doesn't always follow the same pattern. This is more of an autobiography, quite cleverly woven around the charity ride, so some chapters concern Thomas's previous life as a professional footballer.

The remarkable story is rounded out by the Cannibal's mother and his wife Claudine with their own impressions of the highs and lows of his career: the victories in the Tour de France, the World Hour Record, the 1969 doping affair in Italy, the physical setbacks, and the sudden end to his athletic career.

Books of John Borland WADLEY Wadley was a towering presence in British cycle journalism in the middle years of the twentieth century. True, you might say, with few practitioners in this particular corner of reporting during that period, even one of short stature might appear as a giant. But Wadley's qualities as an observer and recorder of bicycle sport would have shone out, whatever the competition. Born in 1914, Wadley reported on the domestic and continental scene from 1933, pretty nearly until he died in 1981, writing for Cycling and The Bicycle, as well as editing Coureur and International Cycle Sport. Often the style is more that of a letter to a friend than what we would today recognise as journalism. But what a correspondent to have! These dispatches from the past are so full of colour, incident and detail that they transcend their style.

He started with two seasons with the Flandria team as a domestique (helper) at the time when Michel Pollentier was sensationally expelled from the Tour de France while wearing the yellow jersey. Kelly's third, fourth and fifth seasons with the Splendor team were marked only by moderate success, but in 1982 he returned to Jean de Gribaldy, the team manager who travelled to Carrick-on-Suir in 1976 and offered him his first professional contract. De Gribaldy helped him to the top. While this book will center on Kelly's career it also brings to life the sport of professional cycling, showing his place in the professional peloton, his attitudes to such issues as drug-taking within the sport, the wheeling and dealing which takes place between riders during races and the eternal threat of a major injury.

In this electrifying, controversial, and scrupulously documented exposé, Walsh explores the many facets of the cyclist doping scandals in the United States and abroad. He examines how performance-enhancing drugs can infiltrate a premier sports event – and why athletes succumb to the pressure to use them. In researching this book, Walsh conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with key figures in international cycling, doctors, and other insiders Central to the story is Lance Armstrong’s relentless, all-consuming drive to be the best. Also essential to this narrative is Floyd Landis, who was the first winner of the Tour de France after Lance.

rather than first hand. There a plenty of interesting nuggets in it but we found the change in style a little messy and rushed. Given Armstrong's lifetime ban and the stripping of his seven Tour de France victories as a result of the USADA investigation, Seven Deadly Sins is likely to be Walsh's last book on this particular affair. But we hope that a journalist of Walsh's quality hasn't finished his investigative reporting career, as there will always be scandals in all walks of life that are worth bringing to light.

With contributions from Lance Armstrong and narration by Phil Liggett, he made this a great project.

Each chapter commences with an overview of a Tour Stage of the 2008 Tour de France, then moves onto other topics, either personal anecdotes from the author’s life, or discussion of various technical aspects of cycling, or some historical information about the Tour de France.

His doctorate is in the area of Cultural Studies, and as such informs his writing, giving us insights into the effects of cycling on our behaviour.

The use of diagrams and real event situations such as the sprint in the 1984 Olympics between Grewal and Bauer emphasis the authors' points nicely. Sensibly, the authors concentrate on Road Racing, Time Trialing, Criteriums and Stage Racing separately, and each discipline is covered in a logical and systematic approach.

WHEATCROFT, Geoffrey, Le Tour: A History of the Tour De France 1903-2003, 2003, Simon & Schuster, 389 pp Category: History The book is much like the history of a family - the difficulties, milestones and grudges that inexorably knit together cyclist and fan. The author draws from many sources - war, religion, nationalism, regionalism, language and one man's relentless drive to sell newspapers - to weave a great narrative of the great race. The book examines the Tours by decade, through 2002; each edition's monuments and tragedies, sometimes briefly and sometimes in detail, but always chronicling the great riders, their fates and feats, and relentless change. However, the tale of a race that is one hundred years old cannot be told without a historical perspective of the tumultous decades through which it has run. So Wheatcroft adds ample amounts of European history. He also discusses, by way of interjected chapters the regions of France. The book includes photos, Tour Facts for each year's race, and a glossary of cycling terms.

Category: Biographies (United Kingdom) Frank Southall was the greatest star cyclist in the interwar years. In 1934 he turned professional for Hercules, and when he stopped racing in 1937 he remained with them, managing a number of other riders both before and after the war. Among those riders was Ken Joy, who in the early 1950s had become the second man after Southall to win four BAR titles. It was Joy who broke many of the records that Southall himself had set. This slim book and its accompanying disk of photographs tell the story of their careers.

The book is interesting, well informed and marked by a streak of what some might consider to be paranoia while others would see it as defensible interpretation. (He's a friend.)

These are the books that provide the antidote to the Armstrong story – or to Armstrong's version of his story, at any rate. And they are written by, to use Armstrong's description, "the cynics and the sceptics" – by those who question the veracity of the American's seven consecutive Tour victories. Armstrong has another word for them – "trolls”. It is essentially what it is: a deeply personal account of Whittle's journey from wide-eyed fan, in thrall to the glamour, exoticism and beauty of the Tour, to crestfallen cynic, disillusioned by the rampant cynicism, corruption and endless succession of doping scandals. Mirroring this journey, coincidentally or not, is that of his personal relationship with Armstrong, from friend – of sorts – to, well, alienated troll. Yet Whittle's engaging book isn't really that of a dyed-in-the-wool cynic. Through his experiences as a fan and then a reporter, he paints a more nuanced, complicated and confused picture. Whittle tells a sad, depressing and bleak story, where trust has dissolved and cynicism has taken over. And yet somehow, there is enough in his book to suggest that his love affair might still be rekindled.

A warts-and-all look back at the 2010 Tour de France. Wiggins went into the race with the weight of a nation on his shoulders; billed as Great Britain’s greatest chance of earning a podium spot after his fourth place finish in 2009. But fourth turned into 24th as Wiggins suffered over three grueling weeks in what was Team Sky’s debut season. On Tour is a brutally honest account of Wiggins’ ordeal. Wiggins guides the reader stage-by-stage through his Tour. What makes the text jump out is Wiggins’ look at the wider aspects of the Tour de France and life in the peloton. A series of mini-essays wind their way through the diary, covering subjects as diverse as Lance Armstrong to the unsung heroes of the peloton. A real insight, On Tour is sure to strike a chord with any cycling fan and is the perfect addition to any coffee table.

Seemingly gone are the days when teams entered the tour with ambition allied to panache. It becomes apparent fairly early on in the book that team Sky's domination of at least the latter two weeks of the 2012 tour was down to a substantial change in the way they trained for events. It seems likely that this might conceivably be where the numbers started to take over. 'The last stint we did was twenty-five minutes, starting at 1,500m altitude and going to 2,200. We would ride one minute at 55 watts, basically prologue power, which you can sustain for a few minutes, then four minutes at threshold torque - 50rpm at threshold, maybe 400-440 watts depending on the altitude, which is bloody hard to do because riding in the big ring, say a 53x16 gear. I fear there is just a tad too much of this throughout the book. (Source: thewashingmachinepost)

A chance find in a second-hand bookshop in the late 1980s provided the spark from which Ted Williams’s bibliographical research grew. He and his wife were holidaying in the English Lake District, where the heavens opened. They ducked into the shop for shelter, and Ted picked up a couple of books on cycling. Ted had the nucleus of what has grown to be a collection of more than 1,000 cycling titles. "Then I started jotting down books mentioned in one book in a little note book, and that got fuller and fuller – and that is when I started putting it down on to my BBC computer", Ted recalls. As his list of books grew, came into contact with its late secretary, Derek Roberts. Roberts stated to send Ted lists of books, to augment his nascent bibliography and put him in touch with other cycling historians, particularly Andrew Millward. This is the first published edition of Williams’s bibliography. It was an example of real selfpublishing. Ted laid out and printed 100 copies.

WOODLAND, Les, Cycle racing: Training to Win, 1975, Pelham Books, 144 pp Category: Introduction to Cycle Racing Book that covers all aspects of training, from improving fitness in the gym to road race and time trial preparation. The science of modern training is explained practically and fully in a clear, simple form. Observation: reprinted in 1976 (Transatlantic Arts), 1977, 1981 (Selpress Books), 1986, 1988 and 1989 (Penguin). WOODLAND, Les, Cycle racing: Riding to Win, 1989, Pelham Books, 144 p Category: Introduction to Cycle Racing In this sequel to "Cycle Racing: Training to Win", Woodland goes beyond training to the race itself, explaining how to enter competitive races and choose a bike. He also gives advice on cycling techniques and tactics, racing abroad, turning professional and team management. (Source: Publisher’s Description) WOODLAND, Les, A Spoke in the Wheel, A Survival Guide to Cycling, 1991, Pelham Books, 128 pp Category: Humour A humorous look at the world of cycling, this book is full of funny stories, practical and not-so-practical advice, true anecdotes of famous competitive cyclists and a few red herrings.With illustrations by Helms. (Source: amazon.co.uk) WOODLAND, Les, Cycling Heroes: The Golden Years, 1995, Springfield Books, 143 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (Champions) This hardcover book includes chapters on 19 cyclists including Coppi, Anquetil, and Bobet. While there isn’t a chapter on Merckx, he’s mentioned throughout the text. Being British, Woodland is required to include Tom Simpson. The most interesting aspect of this charming book, however, is the chapters on some of the lesser known heroes of the past decades. He tells of Shay Elliott’s suicide, and Brian Robinson, one of England’s earliest Continental racers. One of the greatest female racers, Beryl Burton, is included. In Cycling Heroes pages, Charly Gaul tears down mountains and Joop Zoetemelk rides against three generations of champions, Merckx, Hinault, and LeMond. You get to ride alongside the

Observation: this book was published again in 2011 (McGann Publishing, 166 pp). “As well as being stripped of its pictures, a few of the original interviews have been pulled and replaced with interviews there wasn't originally room for first time round. So even if, like me, you know the book of old, the new edition is new.” (Source: podiumcafe.com) WOODLAND, Les, The Unknown Tour De France: The Many Faces of the World’s Greatest Bicycle Race, 2000, Cycle Publishing, 192 pp Category: Tour de France (Overviews) Les Woodland has done a very good job of researching the little known stories of the Tour. While all the famous stories are there too (Simpson, Merckx, the second tour etc.), the author manages to give a fresh slant on them which keeps your interest. But it's the more obscure stories, often either amusing in themselves or humourously told, which bring the most pleasure. The author claims to have spent ten years researching his book, and you can believe it. The best book I've read on the Tour de France, and I've read a few! (Source: review on amazon.com) Observation: Van der Plas Publications also published the book, albeit with different titles, i.e. The Unknown Tour De France: The Many Faces of the World’s Biggest Bicycle Race (2000 and 2009 hardcover editions, 152 pp) and The Unknown Tour De France: The Curious Story of the World’s Biggest Bicycle Race (2000 paperback edition). WOODLAND, Les, The Crooked Path to Victory, Drugs and Cheating in Professional Bicycle Racing, 2003, Van Der Plas Publications, 192 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (In general) This book provides rich returns in understanding the culture of doping in cycling and its long history. It is not limited to drug-related cheating. It come as no surprise that “understandings” and “arrangements” were often made between riders to share out the limited money on offer, and race results were often the result of these arrangements rather than who was best on the day. This background provides a rich vein of stories of riders bucking the arrangement and upsetting the established order, with personal feuds and careers made and destroyed. The book deals more with the structural issues in professional cycling as a form of entertainment, particularly how the tensions between the interests of promoters and cyclists themselves have often led to riders burning their candles at both ends. That it does this while remaining thoroughly entertaining is a credit

Woodland examines the race through the prism of the men who started Tour de France and those who run it now. He also looks at the racers and how racing has changed over the years. Since 1986 Americans have been a dominant force in the Tour. But American cycle racing excellence wasn’'t always a given unless one goes back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when, as Woodland puts it, "...for decades the greatest riders in the world were American." With the great depression American bicycle racing suffered a long period of nearly total eclipse before a wonderful rebirth in the 1970s and '’80s. How all this came to be is just one of the fascinating threads within this wonderful book. Woodland is more than an historian. He is a jolly and witty storyteller and therein lies the book'’s charm. (Source: tower.com) WOODS, Charlie, Bikie: A love affair with the Racing Bicycle, 2002, Mainstream Publishing, 192 pp Category: Bike (Racing) Cult This is great nostalgia. I figure from the text that the author of this book is probably in his sixties at least, and is now looking back on the heyday of the cycle club(s) around the London area in the fifties. In them days, Eurosport wasn't even thought of, terrestrial television (well, the only television service available) pretty much ignored cycling (no change there) and the only real way to acquire knowledge about European cycling was to learn French and buy copies of French newspapers in some of the more enlightened newsagents in the area. Charlie Woods obviously loves cycle racing and loves the type of bicycles on which such cycle sport takes place. He is not alone in his less than enthusiastic welcome for the ubiquitous mountain bike (notwithstanding its single handed saving of the cycle industry) and probably not alone in his excitement over lugged steel frames and Campagnolo components.

WOODS, Isabel, Wheels of change, An Autobiography of Isabel Woods, 2008, Shanway Press, 328 pp Category: Women’s Cycle Racing The author looks back over her amazing life, which included setting four Irish and Northern Irish 'Place to Place' Records and becoming Long Distance cycling Champion in the 1950s. She held the 'Irish End to End Record - Mizen Head in Cork to Fair Head in Antrim' for 52 years and was there to see it broken by Rose Leigh from Zimbabwe in July last year. She explained that she never intended to write a book and it was only when her record was broken that her friend May Farrar convinced her to record her memories in print. The book not only details Isabel's cycling achievements, it also includes tales of growing up in Belfast during the Second World War. Sorrows and joys are intermingled, good times and bad, and the story is seasoned with a dash of humour throughout. (Source: lisburn.com) WOODS, Isabel, FARRAR, May & KIRK, Billy, Recycled Memories; Stories That Capture the Spirit of Cycling Down the Years, 2010, Shanway Press, 456 pp Category: Cycle Racing History (By Country) Cycling in Ireland has always generated immense interest with clubs over the decades dotted around the province. – indeed, in the 1940s and ‘50s, it was estimated there were 300,000 cycle owners. They were people who used it as a mode of transport, while countless others were competitive members of clubs. The enjoyment and camaraderie experienced by them are brilliantly captured in this book lavishly illustrated with a plethora of photographs. Every story pinpoints the competitiveness or, even more significant, how cyclists relish the healthy environment of their sport.

It covers the history, the excitement, the diverse styling and the remarkable technology that surrounds the mountain bike. It offers readers an educational look at the mountain bike's roots, its heroes, and the often baffling design diversification of its many disciplines. There are also

A revised edition was published in 2009 (Haynes Publishing Group, 168 pp). WYATT, Jon, Three Bent Links, 2011, Kindle Edition, 144 KB (print length: 98 pp) Category: Novels/Short Stories This eBook consists of three, very loosely linked, short stories with a different cyclist the subject of each. In some respects the triptych represents an extended taxonomy of cyclists. Harry, the first subject, a solo mountain bike explorer who has a cycling life that is almost secret from both colleagues and girlfriend. Story two, that of Brian, is of a cyclisthating commuter who, dumped by his wife, deprived of his driving licence and sobering up, experiences a profound change of life. The best of the three, though, is Morris, a racer whose best competitive performances are on his journeys to and from work in central London. The last of these culminates in a piece of writing that stands comparison with the most gripping accounts of cycling. There is plenty that will be familiar to anyone who has commuted in a big city, but is infused with a deranged quality that had me on the edge of my seat. (Source: Tim Dawson, cycling-books.com) WYKES, Phil, Northampton & District Cycling Association - The First "50" (1935-1985), 1985, NDCA Category: Cycling Clubs This book commemorates the first 50 years of the NDCA which was set up to promote time trials open only to members of the affiliated clubs who were not all fast enough to qualify for entry in “open” events which had come to monopolise fast courses. This gave slower riders some access to these courses. It also promoted (and promotes) some social and cycle touring events. The NDCA time trials are now open to members of all clubs affiliated to Cycling Time Trials, the national time trial controlling body for England and Wales and other bodies having agreements with CTT but the events embody a competition still open only to affiliated clubs who must be located within the defined geographical boundaries of the NDCA. Many similar organisations were set up in the 1930s, some of which are now defunct as open events are now mostly under subscribed. The book was distributed to members never formally published.

Y YATES, Richard, Master Jacques: The Enigma of Jacques Anquetil, 2001, Mousehold Press, 226 pp Category: Biographies (France) Of all the great cycling champions, Jacques Anquetil – the first man to win the Tour de France five times – remains the most mysterious. A prodigy, he burst upon the racing scene at the age of 18, defeating the world’s best in the Grand Prix des Nations. Perhaps more than any of cycling’s legends, he managed to protect his private life from public gaze. Outwardly confident, and yet profoundly shy, rational and calculating, and yet superstitious and haunted by fear of death, Anquetil was an enigma. He defied the conventional picture of a racing cyclist: elegant on or off the bicycle, winning seemed to come too effortlessly; and he was too fond of the good life that his successes enabled him to enjoy. The French public did not really know what to make of him. It was only as he neared retirement that Anquetil finally received the acclaim his achievements deserved. (Source: stanfords.co.uk) YATES, Richard, Ascent, The Mountains of the Tour De France, 2006, Van der Plas Publications, 160 pp Categories: Tour de France History (Overviews) The book details the ins and outs of each Tour de France since Maurice Garin won the first edition, right up until the author's self-imposed limit of 'the age of big business' pretty much after Merckx's retirement. Unfortunately, and purely with reference to the book's stated raison d'être, the majority of the battlefields are not always where the road goes up granted many of the Tour's mountains are detailed in boxed areas through the book but the general text of the book pays no more lip service to the mountains than to the flatter bits. Adhering almost to the letter of the book's title are the wonderful photographs. to be honest the book is worth buying for these alone. And something I haven't seen in a book of this type before, each page is divided into three columns, similar to a magazine page.

ANONYMOUS Bicycling 1874, A Textbook for Early Riders, 1874, Tinsley Bros, 80 pp Category Cycle Racing History (By Country) This was the first of three annual guides to cycling, written by an unknown author. At the time of publication, high wheelers were in the early years of their ascendancy and cycling's center of gravity had swung decisively to the UK. In a relatively few pages, the author sets out pretty much all that there was to know about cycling at that time. There is a potted history of the development of two wheelers, a practical guide to riding an 'ordinary', a maintenance guidance, an account of bicycling records thus far set, a guide to cycle clubs and accounts of popular longer journeys in the UK and Europe. The sporting exploits that the book records are generally from the year 1871 onwards - a period when distances and disciplines were in their infancy.
