Professional cycling is a rich, dynamic, and often controversial sport that lends itself to great writing. Some of the most famous and illustrious races were founded by newspapermen and The Cycling Anthology continues this tradition by bringing together the best in the business in collections of amazing and original writing about cycling. William Fotheringham remembers the journalist who was instrumental in bringing road-racing to a British audience; Ellis Bacon looks beyond Queen to the link between bikes and beats; Richard Moore finds out what happened to that "little punk" (Lance Armstrong's words), Iban Mayo, and asks if he really did become a long-distance lorry driver; Daniel Friebe reexamines the ups and downs of Marco Pantani; Tom Southam explains what it's like not to ride the Tour de France; and much more.
