Perfect for anyone who has ever known a roadie, considered becoming a roadie, or walked away from a bike race completely puzzled, Roadie addresses all of the curiosities that accompany the sport of cycling, from shaved legs to colourful jerseys and unbelievably expensive bicycles, shoes, and components. Every seemingly neurotic tendency is explained and celebrated with humorous illustrations from nationally syndicated cartoonist Jef Mallett (also rumoured to log thousands of miles of riding per year). Explaining strategy and races from the famous Tour de France race to the local criterium, Roadie brings the excitement of bike racing alive for anyone with an appetite for adrenaline. And for the thousands who purchase a shiny new road bike each spring, it's a much-needed primer on the politics of a group ride. Pace lines, drafting, sprinting, climbing, and breakaways are turned into everyday commonsense with colourful anecdotes. Whether interested onlooker or cycling aficionado, readers will find themselves laughing out loud as they revel in the roadie's world. Author Jamie Smith has been a bike racer since 1983 and a bike race announcer since 1985, working his way up through the ranks of amateur cycling and travelling with some of the world's greatest cyclists.

Velopress A Dog In A Hat Books Velopress Velopress A Dog in a Hat: An American Bike Racer's Story of..... When a normal situation suddenly changes, Belgians call it "een hond met een hoed op," a dog with a hat on. Joe Parkin, an American bike racer who left the familiar comforts of home to compete at the highest professional level in Belgium, was that dog in a hat - something familiar, yet decidedly out of place. In his searing, no-holds-barred memoir, Parkin describes the true life of the professional bike racer. His plainspoken prose puts us in the whirlwind of this hardest of athletic educations, starting with the first visit to his team doctor, where, strapped to a metal table and monitored by humming electrodes, men in white lab coats coldly divine his future as a pro. Parkin pulls no punches. A Dog in a Hat celebrates the glory of bike racing, but Parkin tells the hard reality of the life thrillingly- the drugs, the payoffs, the betrayals by team-mates, the battles with team owners for contracts and money, the endless promises that keep you going, and the sheer physical agony of racing day after day. Despite the pain, despite the suffering, A Dog in a Hat is a beautiful book. It is one racer's story of his love affair with professional cycling, set in the hardest place in the world to be a bike racer. It is a story untold until now, and one that Parkin's readers will never forget. Author Biography: Joe Parkin was an amateur bike racer in California when he met Bob Roll (Bobke II), who advised him to move to Belgium to further his cycling career. He represented the United States at the World Professional Cycling Championships and the World Cyclocross Championships.

Velopress The Tour Is Won On The Alpe Books Velopress Velopress The Tour is Won on the Alpe: Alpe d'Huez and the Classic Battles of the Tour de France. If there is one mountain climb that encapsulates the spirit and magic of the Tour de France, it is the Alpe d'Huez. Its twenty-one hairpin turns and average gradient of 8.1 percent over 13.1 kilometers have become legendary, changing the careers of Americans Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong, and nearly destroying Jan Ullrich and Marco Pantani. Here at last is the definitive history and unforgettable story of cycling's greatest challenge. In The Tour is Won on the Alpe: The Classic Battles of the Tour de France, cycling historian Jean-Paul Vespini tells the story of this celebrated climb and the mountain that so often acts as the ultimate arbiter for cycling's biggest prize. Each chapter covers one ascent, starting with Fausto Coppi's astonishing victory in 1952. Cycling's most famous names are all present and accounted for: Coppi, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Pedro Delgado, Miguel Indurain, Marco Pantani, and of course the American victors Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong. Jean-Paul Vespini's riveting descriptions of each battle to the top include candid interviews with riders, new insight into epic rivalries, and little-known but fascinating facts about the climb that has become a rite of passage for every rider in the peloton.

Velopress Paris-roubaix - A Journey Through Hell Books Velopress Velopress Paris-Roubaix - A Journey Through Hell: Paris-Roubaix is the world's most famous one-day cycle race. Held in north eastern France it is aptly known as "The Hell of the North" - a name resulting from the long stretches of muddy farm roads, paved with roughhewn "bone-shaking" cobblestones. The course is made more treacherous by notoriously fickle weather, often including rain, wind and snow. The race has been held annually, on the third Sunday in April, since 1896, and follows a 270km course between the suburbs of Paris and the city of Roubaix. Paris-Roubaix: A Journey Through Hell recounts the history and excitement of the race in oversized format and with hundreds of spectacular colour and black and white photos. The authoritative text is put together by top sportswriters at France's L'Equipe magazine and gives the inside story of the race and its traditions, and the champion cyclists it has helped to confirm. Spectacular black and white and colour photography brings into stark contrast the harsh conditions of this race and the toll it takes on its riders - the "hard men" of cycling. The editors of L'Equipe, the premier cycling and sports publication in France, have compiled the content for this book from their comprehensive archives. A chronological sequence unveils the history of the race. The book includes profiles of the mostcolourful and dominant riders. Includes an exclusive, behind-the-scenes chapter, a perspective shared only by those who have travelled to witness Paris-Roubaix first hand.

Velopress The Spring Classics Books Velopress Velopress The Spring Classics: Cycling's spring races are always the most anticipated of the year, not only because they herald the start of the season, but also because they are brutally difficult and spectacularly unpredictable. Known as the spring classics, these one-day races test cycling's toughest riders with the worst conditions imaginable-sucking mud, choking dust, leg-numbing sleet, fanatic spectators, and Europe's narrowest, most bone grinding country roads. Clattering through agrarian hamlets on routes established a century ago, The Spring Classics celebrates cycling's most glorious and meaningful history. The Spring Classics delves into the stories of Milan-San Remo, Ghent-Wevelgem, the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, the Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallone, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège through hundreds of rare and restored photographs presented in a lavish format. With authoritative text from cycling's expert sportswriters, The Spring Classics commemorates the riders, traditions, and secrets of cycling's greatest one day contests. Authors: Philippe Bouvet; Pierre Callewaert; Jean-Luc Gatellier; Serge Laget; Phillipe Brunel Hardback 224 pages 315mm x 255mm Hundreds of b&w and colour photos Review this product	Review this store	£26.96	Visit Store »
