Description
This is the story of British cycling as told through the lives of the people who built it. From the first recorded race in a Paris park in 1868 to the present day, here are profiles of true originals: glorious exponents of road and track cycling, mountain bikers and cyclo-cross riders. Discover George-Pilkington Mills, who rode from Land’s End to John O’Groats on a penny-farthing; Dave Marsh, the first British road-race world champion in 1922; Eileen Sheridan, who began racing by chance and became a major record-breaker - and more.
