This book features 50 profiles of colorful characters from the cycling world, reflecting the growing popularity of cycling as a means to combat obesity and promote environmental sustainability. While cycling offers many benefits, it also brings the challenge of enduring lengthy conversations with passionate riders. The text delves into the lives of various cycling enthusiasts, capturing what drives this expanding community, from their obsession with high-end gear to their willingness to brave chilly conditions in minimal clothing. Readers will meet a range of cycling personalities, starting with the newly converted cycling evangelist who has transformed from a couch potato into a fervent advocate for the sport, eager to share how cycling has changed his life. Then there's the MAMIL, a middle-aged man in lycra who tackles steep hills on a bike that rivals the price of a car. The vintage princess, on the other hand, struggles with her heavy 1940s bicycle, prioritizing style over practicality. The book humorously explores the quirks and dedication of these cyclists, offering insights into their unique lifestyles and the sometimes questionable fashion choices that accompany their passion for cycling.
