Product Description
Discover the story of Britain's ultimate cyclist and his ill-fated race during the 1967 Tour de France, from the bestselling author of Half Man Half Bike
Tom Simpson was an Olympic medallist, world champion and the first Briton to wear the fabled yellow jersey of the Tour de France. He died a tragic early death during the 1967 Tour. A man of contradictions, Simpson was one of the first cyclists to admit to using banned drugs, and was accused of fixing races, yet the dapper 'Major Tom' inspired awe and affection for the obsessive will to win which was ultimately to cost him his life.
Put Me Back on My Bike revisits the places and people associated with Simpson to produce the definitive story of Britain's greatest ever cyclist. The fully revised and updated edition of William Fotheringham's classic biography features a new foreword and postscript further exploring the truth behind the legend.

All oSet in New York, Insiders allows us to be just that as we catch of glimpse of the 'high' life. Extravagant parties, messy relationships and shameless ambition are just some of the excesses of the bling boys from Tribeca. But when Jonathan's cute cousin from St Louis arrives on the scene, they have a challenge on their hands. She's definitely not as innocent as first impressions suggest, in fact, she's full of surprises, and the guys are so easily distracted by the promise of drinks, a party, or just a little excitement that they don't even notice when one of their gang disappears altogether. And when Patch doesn't pick up his cell, it must be serious. This is very cool, completely salacious and totally compelling writing from an exciting new talent. Insiders is Sex in the City but with four guys instead, and gives girls an enticing glimpse of the boys point of view.f our books are second hand, and while you may not get the exact copy shown in the picture, all of our books are in very good condition.
