Le Métier: The Seasons of a Professional Cyclist (Rouleur)

Quite simply one of the best books about cycling that isn't a training book. But its got some of that in there also, but not like you think.Its really nice to get a glimpse of what its really like in the peleton. The writing is great and does a fantastic job of describing events as if you were there.Every time I begin reading a page I want to put the book down and go for a ride.

Book Showed up damp and wet. And really beat up, actually dirty looking. not as described. I either want money off this book or I will be returning it ASAP.

I like the book very much. I do have a problem with the print quality. It is too light which makes it hard to read.

I had hoped for a little more detail / insight, to that end I am enjoying Charlie Wegelius' book more. That said, it is a lovely book - layout, paper, photos etc. As a cycling fan, I feel that it is one of those books that romantics / purists would insist is on your bookshelf - an expensive attitude to adopt. That said, I do recommend it if you've got a few quid.

Man mag denken was man möchte über den professionellen Radsport..... Dieses Buch gibt jedem Leser besonders visuell tiefe Einblicke in das eher härtere und einsame Leben eines Radsportlers. Ich finds super, fahre selbst als Hobbyfahrer und das Buch vermittelt genau das Lebensgefühl, warum ich fahre. Schon alleine das Durchblättern ist ein Genuß. Es ist ebnen nicht dieses perfekte, glanzvolle wie sich das die breite Masse vorstellen mag.Einzige Kritik. Der Text ist in grau gedruckt und man könnte bei der nächsten Auflage eher 90% schwarz verwenden.
