Product Description
“Kings of the Mountains” tells the amazing and little-known story of how an impoverished, politically turbulent Latin American country produced a breed of cyclist capable of taking on the world’s best – in the 2002 Tour de France the top Colombian rider Santiago Botero beat even the great Lance Armstrong to win the time trial. Matt Rendell tells of how Colombia’s fist cycle races during the 50s were held on dusty, unpaved roads – with consequentially ghastly accidents; of how the first top Europeans to race in Colombia found themselves utterly vanquished by its endless mountain climbs; of how the biography of Colombia’s first cycling superstar was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Then, in the 70s and 80s, its cyclists began to make their mark abroad, even in the Tour de France – especially as victors in its draining mountain stages, to become King of the Mountains – before Colombia’s pathological political instability led to the rise of the cocaine cartels, and cycling became inextricably linked with the world of drug smuggling.

Pedalare! Pedalare! A History of Italian Cycling http://singlespeedbicycles.info/blog/pedalare-pedalare-a-history-of-italian-cycling/ http://singlespeedbicycles.info/blog/pedalare-pedalare-a-history-of-italian-cycling/#comments Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:37:57 +0000 Blogmaster http://singlespeedbicycles.info/blog/pedalare-pedalare-a-history-of-italian-cycling/

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.
