Critics Review

A very unique, insightful, mostly amusing and often hilarious perspective from a point of view that very few see and even fewer have the capacity to divulge to us all * Cadel Evans *A fascinating and inspiring book … An excellent read * Phil Liggett MBE *The insight of a reporter and the passion of a fan, but still clear-eyed enough to take joy in pro-racing’s absurdities and contradictions * Michael Hutchinson, author of Faster *A joyride of a journey * David Millar *Elegiac * Alexei Sayle *A mature, reflective affair… [Ned] is one of the most prolific writers of books in the cycling business * BikeRadar *An elegy for not just the career [Ned’s] fashioned from cycling, but also the way we view sport, its personalities and their often short-lived careers. * The Observer *Memorable * Cyclist Magazine *Exciting * The Bookseller *It invites us to gear up for the ride of our lives * The Sunday Post *Mature, reflective… impeccably timed * Cycling Plus *
