Pedal-Powered Chaos: Cycling, Catastrophe, and Second Chances
By Simon Tolson
Jake Jackson has two great loves: his bike and his talent for making a complete mess of everything else.
When a breakup leaves him heart-bruised and adrift, Jake throws himself into cycling as therapy. But what starts as an innocent attempt at fitness quickly turns into a tour de farce - from charity-ride disasters and Tinder calamities to a Majorcan holiday where every pedal stroke leads deeper into chaos, comedy, and accidental self-discovery.
Across thirty laugh-out-loud chapters, Pedal-Powered Chaos follows Jake's painfully funny transformation from Lycra-clad liability to a man finally learning what it means to slow down, open up, and ride through life without the stabilisers on. Along the way, he encounters viral humiliation, misplaced saddles, rival triathletes, and one woman who might just see past the wreckage to the heart of the rider beneath.
Witty, heartfelt, and irresistibly human, Pedal-Powered Chaos is a celebration of second chances, self-inflicted disasters, and the beautiful absurdity of trying to find love - and yourself - on two wheels.
Perfect for readers of: Nick Hornby, Matt Haig, and anyone who's ever tried (and failed) to look cool in cycling shorts.
Tone: British wit meets heartfelt redemption - think High Fidelity in Lycra.
