Matt Seaton's critically acclaimed memoir about his obsession for cycling and how that obsession was tamed. schovat popis

Cycling is going through a revolution. Over half a million of us take to our bicycles every day and, as a result, the public image of cycling has been transformed. No longer the preserve of the marginal and eccentric few, it's now considered cool to travel on two wheels. "Guardian" journalist Matt Seaton is one of cycling's greatest advocates. An out-and-out bike nut, he rides to work during the week, races at the weekend and has even been known to attend transport policy conferences in between. In this collection, Seaton not only explores a nation's rediscovered love of cycling, he also investigates the issues that affect all cyclists, from potholes and town planning to cycling etiquette and aesthetics. Whether you're a commuter or a competitive racer, a recreational rider or a cycle tourist, this book will prove irresistible--and enlightening--reading.

Published in association with Rapha Racing: practical guides for cycling enthusiasts traveling in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco

Für Matt Seaton ist nichts großartiger, als loszufahren, bis die Muskeln brennen und er glaubt, zu fliegen. Auf seinem Rennrad konnte ihn niemand einholen – doch dann erwischte ihn eines Tages der Ernst des Lebens von hinten. Er kann sich im Sattel nicht der Realität entziehen, daß er seine geliebte Frau verliert. Das tragisch-berührende Protokoll einer großen Leidenschaft und eines schmerzlichen Verlustes. 'Seaton gibt Einblicke in seine Persönlichkeit, er zeigt, wie sich Verantwortung und Reife bilden für ein Leben mit Familie und einer großen Faszination: dem Radsport.' Tour
