'British cyclist. It used to be an oxymoron, a sort of silliness.
Like French Cricket' Ned Boulting has noticed something. It's to do
with bikes. They're everywhere. And so are their riders. Some of
these riders seem to be sporting sideburns and a few of them are
winning things. Big things. Now Ned wants to know how on earth it
came to this. And what, exactly is 'this'. In On the Road Bike, Ned
Boulting asks how Britain became so obsessed with cycling. His
journey takes him from the velodrome at Herne Hill to the Tour of
Britain at Stoke-on-Trent via Bradley Wiggins, Chris Boardman,
David Millar (and David's mum), Ken Livingstone, both Tommy
Godwins, Gary Kemp (yes, him from Spandau Ballet) and many, many
more. The result is an amusing and personal exploration of the
austere, nutty soul of British cycling. 'Funny, fascinating and
frequently touching ... will be enjoyed by anyone with even a
passing interest in cycling. No bib shorts required' Guardian
