[Paige Butler · Rating 3 out of 5]

very entertaining but would be a nearly impossible read for someone who hasn’t been in the cycling world their entire lives. yet another addition to my collection of niche reads in 2023

Well written and very informative of his 30 years of cycling journalism. A must have for any cycling fan!
