A Bike Ride through My Life chronicles the life of author Frank
Clements with bicycles-following the twists and turns that his life
has taken in pursuit of his passion for riding. Clements is the
younger brother of Ernie Clements, winner of several British
Cycling Championships and a Silver Medal in the 1948 Olympic Games
Bicycle Race. Despite his love of cycling, he first chose to join
National Service in the RAF to establish a unique place for
himself-and spent virtually all of his final twelve months of
service riding a bike. After his tour of duty ended, he began
training to become the best cyclist in the world, his life's
ambition since his success as a potential world class cyclist as a
teen. Clements has had many ups and downs in his cycling life. At a
young age, he came in second in the British under-eighteen
championships and just missed being a member of the British Olympic
Cycling team for the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. He also
designed, built, and loaned five special Cross country bikes to
Roger Hammond and he won the World's Cyclo Cross Championship with
them. This memoir follows Clements from youth to retirement,
offering a fascinating trip through an amazing life.
