Exceptional Historical Cycling Book

I bought this book for my husband who is an avid cyclist. He absolutely loved it! It has a great collection of memorabilia and stories about the great cyclists of the WWII era. The pictures are amazing!

Cycling's Holly Monsters

I found this book a trip back to vintage and historical era of heroism in cycling! You get to realize how much difficult was racing those days without today's technology of bike gear and support. The pictures are really good and I found myself ''lost'' back in those days. A valuable book for the cycling enthusiast. A return to our roots...

Fantastic book on Vintage era of racing

Wonderful collection of names and faces from the post war days of competitive cycling. Full of inspirational storys of racing in the time of dirt roads and wooden tracks.I think any sports fan would enjoy this book showing the sport before the long lines of support vehicles and ultra commercialization.
