Beschreibung

"Offers an illuminating meditation on what drives cyclists to devote their lives and bodies to training, racing, and even doping. Olivier Haralambon, who spent ten years as a racing cyclist, presents cycling as simultaneously physical and creative, technological and mystical, torturous and ecstatic, and writes about the world of competitive cycling with rare honesty and self-reflection"--
