I also would dive in to the history of bike riding, I recommend Riding Through the Zone Rouge by Tom Isitt as it's a race come history lesson that will stay with you long after you close the book.

The Bikeriders by Danny Lyon | Goodreads

We had a place to party in Lafayette, an old four story warehouse, where we got together with our friends. What is clear is how much the world of the pro peloton has shifted in the interim years as ANC Halfords scrimp enough funding to pull a team together, with questionable road worthy equipment and an all hands on deck approach that sees the author becoming more and more involved, even playing important roles within the team to help out. First is the boldness and the uncharted territory – Mark beat the previous record by a whopping 44 days, it marked a complete paradigm shift in our conception of what’s humanly possible. The Bikeriders begins with the kind of rumble you might find in any number of Hells Angels-themed films of the time.If you're interested in bikes, the biker lifestyle, or how the 'outlaw' subculture developed, you must invest in this book. Reading after the tale of Marco Pantaini will make for auditable sighs and how did nothing get learnt. Nichols has made an utterly unfashionable romance, one that revolves around working-class white men — a drama that, in its indirect way, challenges assumptions and easy judgment. I always picture the 1950s/1960s in a particular way but these photos could have been taken yesterday. The cycle could always be in a state of repair, the cycle didn't have to run and, the best one yet, it didn't even have to be in your possession.

He tells the story of Preacher Mike and the Christian Crusaders Bikeriders, a story about American biker culture today and in the past. as long as Harley-Davidsons are manufactured other bikeriders will appear, riding unknown and beautiful through Chicago, into the streets of Cicero. It also gives you chance to digest and work through the story line, especially if it's a thrilling, funny, or sad plot. The gang meeting scenes are like so many others in film history; they’re ritualistic and inarticulate to a fault, but in a genre film that kind of repetition can be as much a pleasure as an irritation.If you have a favourite book that isn't listed, please share the recommendation with us via our About Cycling Weekly get in touch page and we'll add it to our list of must reads and let you know if we too think it's one of the best page turners.

Wish so much of the book wasn't taken up with interviews of the bikers, forming a loose history of the scene. While there's significant stage setting as to what was happening on each stage of the race, to set the scene each chapter, the the main fest is how the team survive the huge endurance event. After stellar performances in " Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and as Alfie Solomons in " Peaky Blinders", we can already imagine Hardy in biker leathers. Johnny asks, after one of his customary long pauses, on the rare occasions when someone throws down the gauntlet to challenge him. It’s full of anecdotes and details to keep an avid cyclist happy, whilst also being broad enough for a general audience.To get your riding fix when not on the bike, pick up one of the best cycling books to magic you off an imaginative one, a historical one, a political one or even just help you plan your next one. You want to see just what its like just step out into a nice big old fat ocean all by yourself in a little rowboat and see just how microscopic you are. But if you're after eye-opening fast paced true story, this is by far one of the best cycling books you will read.
