Description

Tom Simpson was a man of contradictions, a cyclist who inspired awe and affection for his obsessive will to win, yet was also one of the first to admit to using banned drugs and was accused of fixing races. His tragic death during the 1967 Tour de France shocked the cycling world.

This fully revised and updated edition of William Fotheringham's biography revisits the places and people associated with Simpson, producing a story that is both a tribute to his legacy and a nuanced exploration of the truth behind the legend.

With a new foreword and postscript, Put Me Back on My Bike offers a fresh perspective on one of Britain's greatest ever cyclists, and the enduring power of his story.
