A legend of the sport... I got tired of people telling me I wasn't
as fast as him
*Chris Hoy*
This book is compelling... Dineen has explored all facets of
Harris's character and gets right to the nub of a man who lit the
fuse which ultimately led to today's cycling explosion in Britain.
With enough attention to detail to satisfy the cycling afficionado
and enough insight to engage anybody who has ever paused to
consider the human condition, this deserves a wide audience.
