Description

"This essential book is an A to Z compendium of everything you could ever want to know about the bicycle, from the history of the Tour de France to Chris Hoy's dominance of the Beijing velodrome, from the origins of the quick-release system to the diet that powered Graeme Obree to the world hour record, from Lance Armstrong's fabled career to the slang words used for performance-enhancing substances, from the literature of cycling to the perils of vicious dogs."--P. [4] of cover.
