Brilliantly conceived and written at a breakneck pace, this is a loving, imaginative and above all, passionate tribute to the art of bicycle road racing. Far from a dry history of the sport, The Rider is beloved as a bicycle odyssey, a literary masterpiece that describes in painstaking detail one 150-kilometer ride in a mere 150 pages.
