BESPOKE: A GUIDE TO CYCLE SPEAK AND CYCLE SLANG

Over the years, cycling has developed a lexicon all of its own which crosses boundaries, borders and nationalities. Lavishly illustrated with specially commissioned artworks by acclaimed cycling illustrator Neil Stevens and historical photography from both the British Library collections and L'Équipe, this book takes the reader from the tête de la course to the gruppetto, from the caravane following the race to the tifosi cheering on the mountainside. Insightful and irreverent, Bespoke is for anyone who wants to be able to speak cycling.
