About this book

Read about cycling legends, past and present, in their moments of glory as reported at the time. Become engrossed in articles and photographs hailing the fortitude of the greatest British cycling icons from the last decade, such as track stars Chris Boardman, Victoria Pendleton and Sir Chris Hoy as well as the exploits of Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish on the road.

British cyclists become the kings and queens of the sport through the early 200os, and this book recounts those stories through authentic newspaper reports of the time.
