Cycling books - for inspiration!

Cathryn should have it, I hope. Keep your eyes peeled.

Yeah, thanks Longers! Love the wrapping paper as well.

I love the Anne Mustoe books - she's brilliant!

My best hand book and read has to be CYCLECHAT!

However a bit tricky to balance a laptop on the handlebars, and you'd have to be careful with the cursur as you went over the bumps

"The Rider" by Tim Crabbe. Fiction but told by someone who has been there and got the Tshirt!

French Revolutions is like someone said a great read, not strictly cycling related but Spanish Steps by the same author is very good too.

 

[Eat MY Dust]

French Revolutions byTim Moore - hilarious as well.

I would 2nd this, very good and funny. Tim Moore also wrote a book called Spanish Steps which has nothing to do with cycling but is possibly one of the funniest books I've ever read!

I really like them too although she tends to get a bit of a bashing on this forum. I think i like her because she's short, she's a girl, she tours and she's quite gutsy (bit like me). I did some weekend tours by myself last summer and thinking of her got me up a couple of steep Yorkshire hills!

On Your Bicycle by Jim McGurn is a very good book on the social history of cycling as is King of the Road by Andrew Ritchie
