Description

The Rider by Tim Krabbé In the midst of a gruelling 137-kilometre bike ride, Tim Krabbé reflects on the lives of the spectators gathered to watch him. The emptiness of their faces leaves him feeling shocked and disturbed. This is a story that unfolds at a breakneck pace, as Krabbé recounts his experiences with unflinching honesty and passion. Originally published in 1978, The Rider is a deeply personal and imaginative account of the author's time as a professional cyclist. It is a tribute to the art of cycle racing, written with a love and respect for the sport that is impossible to ignore. With its unique blend of athleticism and introspection, this book is a compelling read that will appeal to anyone interested in the world of cycling.
