Product Description

Cycling was a sport so important in Italy that it marked a generation, sparked fears of civil war, changed the way Italian was spoken, led to legal reform and even prompted the Pope himself to praise a cyclist, by name, from his balcony in St Peter’s in Rome. It was a sport so popular that it created the geography of Italy in the minds of her citizens, and some have said that it was cycling, not political change, that united Italy.

Pedalare! Pedalare! is the first complete history of Italian cycling to be published in English. The book moves chronologically from the first Giro d’Italia (Italy’s equivalent of the Tour de France) in 1909 to the present day. The tragedies and triumphs of great riders such as Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali appear alongside stories of the support riders, snow-bound mountains and the first and only woman to ride the whole Giro.

Cycling’s relationship with Italian history, politics and culture is always up front, with reference to fascism, the cold war and the effect of two world wars. The sport is explored alongside changes in Italian society as a whole, from the poor peasants who took up cycling in the early, pioneering period, to the slick, professional sport of today. Scandals and controversy appear throughout the book as constant features of the connection between fans, journalists and cycling.

Concluding with an examination of doping, which has helped to destroy what was at one time the most popular sport of all, Pedalare, Pedalare is an engrossing history of a national passion.

A Significant Other: Riding the Centenary Tour de France with Lance Armstrong http://singlespeedbicycles.info/blog/a-significant-other-riding-the-centenary-tour-de-france-with-lance-armstrong/ http://singlespeedbicycles.info/blog/a-significant-other-riding-the-centenary-tour-de-france-with-lance-armstrong/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:50:59 +0000 Blogmaster http://singlespeedbicycles.info/blog/a-significant-other-riding-the-centenary-tour-de-france-with-lance-armstrong/

Product Description

New in Paper
An inside look at the 2003 Tour de France through the eyes of Lance Armstrong’s right-hand rider, Victor Hugo Peña–who also helped Armstrong ride to his unprecedented sixth victory in 2004. Peña served as Armstrong’s domestique, a crucial yet unsung position unique to cycling. The domestique handles a variety of tasks, but his most important is to ride ahead of the team leader, creating a wind tunnel that makes it aerodynamically easier for the “star” to continue pedaling. This is the essence of cycling, and the key to Armstrong’s victories. Now, in revealing the true role of the domestique for the first time, Matt Rendell gives a more vivid and insightful portrayal of professional cycling than ever before.
