Favourite cycling books

[steveo269]

Apologies if this has been done before,title says it all really

I've just finished Tim Moores Gironimo,well worth a read as his his TdF book,I've read pretty much all there is to read on Armstrong but one of my favourites has to be "12 months in the saddle",didn't take very long as it's mostly pictures but very entertaining and partly inspired me to buy a road bike !

Anyhow,what are your recommendations ?

I also like Ned Boultings books on the TDF they are quite funny.

"The Yellow Jersey" (1970's), "one man and his bike" and yes, the ubiquitous "its all about the bike" !

Been on the lookout for the book by the brother of Ernie Clements of Falcon fame

Not just one of the best cycling books, but one of the best books I've read is The Rider by Tim Krabbé.

Armstrong's It's Not About The Bike. He comes across as a genuine, sincere, kind man.

It's an obvious one but Tyler Hamiltons The Secret Race is superb.
