This collection of short stories get at the heart of cycling's unique and often poetic appeal, equal parts comic and melancholic in its depiction of the failures and rewards of the punishing pursuit. A literary cycling gem in the mode of Tim Krabbe's }The Rider{ The helicopter is hanging above our heads. A woman with a child waves up to the family watching at home. Motorcycles tear past, sirens wailing. And here they come, the riders. Like a vast chameleon the peloton continually changes shape and colour. Four hundred tyres sing to us. Music for a Sunday afternoon. Here they come. Here they are.
