Re: Cyclists: 200 Years on Two Wheels by Michael Hutchinson

$29.99 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Bicycles

Somewhere in a German forest 200 years ago, during the darkest, wettest summer for centuries, the story of cycling began. The calls to ban it were more or less instant. Re:Cyclists is the tale of what happened next, of how we have spent two centuries wheeling our way about town and country on bikes - or on two-wheeled things that vaguely resembled what we now call bikes. Michael Hutchinson picks his way through those 200 years, discovering how cycling became a kinky vaudeville act for Parisians, how it became an American business empire, and how it went on to find a unique home in the British Isles. He considers the penny-farthing riders exploring the abandoned and lonely coaching roads during the railway era, and the Victorian high-society cyclists of the 1890s bicycle craze - a time when no aristocratic house party was without bicycles and when the Prince of Wales used to give himself an illicit thrill on a weekday afternoon by watching the women's riding-school in the Royal Albert Hall. Re:Cyclists looks at how cycling became the sport, the pastime and the social life of millions of ordinary people, how it grew and how it suffered through the 1960s and '70s, and how at the dawn of the twenty-first century it rose again, much changed but still ultimately just someone careering along on two wheels. ...Show more

The Secret Race : Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups and Winning at All Costs by Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle

$34.95 AUD

Available Stock:

Category: Bicycles

WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2012. On a fateful night in 2009, Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle met for dinner in Boulder, Colorado. The two had met five years before while Coyle was writing his bestselling book, Lance Armstrong: Tour de Force. But this time, Tyler had something els e on his mind. He finally wanted to come clean, about everything: the doping, the lying, his years as Lance Armstrong's teammate on U.S. Postal, his decade spent running from the truth. 'I'm sorry,' he told Coyle. 'It just feels so good to be able to talk about this. I've been quiet for so many years.' Over the next eighteen months, Hamilton would tell his story, and his sport's story, in explosive detail, never sparing himself in the process. In a way, he became as obsessed with telling the truth as he had been with winning the Tour de France just a few years before. The truth would set Tyler free, but would also be the most damning indictment yet of Tour winners such as Armstrong. The result of this determination is The Secret Race, a book that pulls back the curtain and takes us into the secret world of professional cycling like never before. A world populated by unbelievably driven - and some flawed - characters. A world where the competition used every means to get an edge, and the options were stark. A world where it often felt like there was no choice. ...Show more

Tour De Lance: A Wild Ride Through Lance Armstrong's Comeback by Bill Strickland

$29.99 AUD

Category: Bicycles

What drives someone to step back into the glare of the spotlight after they've walked away showered with praise and adulation? Is it ego? Is it boredom? As author Bill Strickland follows Lance Armstrong's comeback year he explores the motivations and struggles of a cyclist's journey back to the peloton, but he also explores Armstrong as a symbol of our culture - why is it we so love a comeback? Lance Armstrong's comeback obsessed millions - the hundreds of thousands of amateur bike racers around the world, the millions of regular recreational riders, and even more millions, even billions, who go to watch the peloton sweep past or follow the Tour in print, on TV and via the internet. Strickland follows Lance through the 2009 race season, from the Tour Down Under through the tours in Europe and the US to the Tour de France in July. As the season unfolds and Armstrong's quest gains urgency so does the author's obsession with everything relating to his comeback. Tour de Lance takes us into the rich complexities of the words of cycling - its uncertain strategies, its hallowed traditions, its unpredictable and savage team dynamics, its relentless technology wars, its rhythm both seasonal and within a single race. Nor does it shrink from exploring sometimes uncomfortable corners of the truth. Was for instance Lance Armstrong's motivation in returning purely philanthropic as he claimed, or was it as someone close to him claimed 'he's a killer, and he missed killing'. ...Show more
