Has anyone listened to a cycling related audio book they are desperate to enthuse about?

The Rider is awesome though! i need to go read that again

The Tom Simpson biography “Put me back on my bike” by William Fotheringham, the Jacques Anquetil biography “Sex, Lies and Handlebar Tape” by Paul Howard, and since you already read “The Rules”, I can also recommend “The Hardmen”.

My friend did the narration for The Tour According to G. I listened just for his voice!

The Racer. David Millar. Brilliant audiobook. I’ve played it about 4 times over the past couple of years.

A Life Without Limits - Chrissie Wellington is very good, but the second book she did (To The Finish Line) really doesn’t work as an audiobook.

Gironimo! by Tim Moore is entertaining and I believe is on Audible. I don’t know if Phil Keoghan’s (Amazing Race guy) film Le Ride was ever was in book format, but it is also pretty good.

I enjoyed A Dog In A Hat by Joe Parkin, but doesn’t look like it’s an audiobook. It’s about an American who goes to race in Belgium. I recently read The River by Peter Heller. It’s not cycling related but it was riveting and definitely involves adventure (canoe trip through northern Canada) if that…

Im not an audiobook man, but Cav‘s books have been a light and enjoyable read. Also, not directly cycling related, but The Boys in the Boat was absolutely brilliant. Rowing people are crazy people just like us.

Too cool! It’s very well done!

Any good audio books? Biographies/ cycling adventures?

Not sure if it’s available in audiobook format, but Road to Valor is an excellent book. Same goes for Jens Voigt’s Shut Up Legs.
