I've read my share of cycling related books, but they've all been works of non-fiction; training guides/reference, etc. I would like to recommend a book that is a totally fictional story. The Race, by Dave Shields. It's about the Tour De France, and it is one of the best books I've ever read (of any book). I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one day. As I finished the last page I wanted to grab my bike and get out on the road.
It's an extremely compelling story, with a sympathetic protagonist in Ben Barnes.
Whether you know a Peloton from a Trinitron, you'll enjoy this book.
Big thumbs up!
BTW, it is twenty-friggin'-seven degrees right now! I'm cold just thinking about that number. Brrrrrr.
