Anyone read any good (cycling) books recently?

[T-Bob]

Just wanted to get some reads for the kindle while I do a bit of traveling and wondered if anyone had any recommendations?

 

Kind of looking for road books really.

 

Thought about:

- The new Stephen Roche book

- Sean Kelly: Hunger

- Slaying the Badger

- Racing Hard by William Fothering

- In search of Robert Millar

- How I won the Yellow Jumper: Ned Boulting

- On the Road Bike: New Boulting

 

Anyone read any? Not sure what else is about...

[Blackadder]

Charly Wegelius - Domestique: The Real-life Ups and Downs of a Tour Pro

[HeyYou]

Chris Sidwells --- A race for Madmen .... very good

Yesssss!!! I'm reading E.T., he cycled over the moon!

It's not cycling per se - more political and socio-economic observations from his time commuting in cities on a bike 0 but I recently read David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries.

new york bike snob has a few books that was worth the read but it is more of a social commentary on cycling.

Is the book not just a collection of his blogs?
