       PRAISE

      ‘An exhilarating work … just the book for anyone who, shooting past a traffic jam on the way to work, imagines himself wearing the winner’s yellow jersey at the head of the Tour de France pack’

       Independent

      ‘Remarkably infectious and richly atmospheric; so much so that the effect is like being hoisted up on to his handlebars and swept along for the ride. His enthusiasm drives everything forward at an exhilarating lick’

       Sunday Telegraph

      ‘A hugely engaging history of the sport’

      SIMON O’HAGAN, Books of the Year, Independent on Sunday

      ‘A charmingly eccentric account of his love of cycling, mixed in with a history of the sport’

      JOHN PRESTON, Books of the Year, Sunday Telegraph

      ‘This strange, funny and moving memoir is irresistible. A quirky, oblique elegy’

       Financial Times

      ‘A deeply affectionate mental scrapbook … Hilton has the skill as a writer to make the subject of cycling fresh and compelling again. Fascinating … Exuberant’

      MATT SEATON, Guardian

      ‘Hilton is a brilliantly quirky, inventive writer … A wonderful testament to a life in the saddle’

       Daily Telegraph
