Description
Cycling's Strangest Tales by Iain Spragg is a quirky and fascinating collection of stories from cycling's history. From the open road to the velodrome, this book brings together extraordinary but true tales that showcase the sport's unique spirit. You'll discover stories like the doughty Englishman who circumnavigated the world on a penny farthing, the athlete who won the 1904 Tour de France only to be disqualified for catching the train, and the man who soared over nine circus elephants on an ordinary yellow bike. These remarkable stories are just a few of the many that make up this captivating collection. With a selection of new stories added to bring it bang up to date, Cycling's Strangest Tales is the perfect gift for anyone who loves life on two wheels.
