This is the story of Alf Engers and the pursuit of speed, set
against a backdrop of cycling clubs, shop-owners, framebuilders,
riders, racers, team managers and officials. It loops from the
Paddington Track to the Skol Six, Herne Hill to the National Road
Race Championships and from Boroughbridge to Barnet, in and out of
time and place to capture the truth of a racing career of
unequalled achievement, charisma and controversy. Constructed from
extensive interviews with Alf Engers, I Like Alf is the definitive
tale of a mythical and charismatic folk hero of British cycling.
Where I came from it was so very different: up at five o'clock in
the morning, the tinkle of shoe plates on the road, the smell of
embrocation, the stillness of the morning, just you and the
timekeeper: 5-4-3-2-1-GO! It is the essence of cycling. If I had
gone on to do what I wanted to do I would have won the Tour de
France, but that's how the dice were rolled.
