Description

Matt Seaton's memoir about his all-consuming passion for cycling is a story of obsession and redemption. For years, cycling was more than just a hobby - it was a way of life, with its own rituals and code of honour. As he navigated the world of track meets, time trials, and road races, Matt found a sense of camaraderie and belonging among fellow cyclists. But as marriage, children, and illness forced him to confront the realities of adulthood, Matt was forced to re-evaluate his priorities and let go of his beloved bikes. Today, those bikes are scattered or gathering dust in an attic, but their memory remains a powerful reminder of the passion and dedication that once defined him. A wry, frank, and elegiac account of one man's journey from youth to adulthood, 'The Escape Artist' is a celebration of the simple beauty of cycling and the complexities of growing up.
