Good call, b! I am a guilty-pleasure true crime buff. The amount of research involved in the best of the genre is ridiculous.

That sounds cool, Flash! Luison was the first three-time TdF winner, an elegant rider, and evidently a great big bro.

Thanks for the second, Clean! Lived in CO for forty years and one of my windmill tilts was riding the high passes. Rubberside down!

Pain v. hurt

I'll throw out a peculiar, perfect little book: Bob Voiland's Hurt City. Dude took it on himself to ride all contiguous states and did it. Not quite Robert Pirsig but doggone close.

I made note of these suggestions and some others from older threads. Thanks

I recommend No Hands, Rise and Fall of Schwinn Bicycle by Judith Crown. Not a cyclist book but one about a company, the industry, nepotism and collosal mismanagement.

A sad, sad story with a happy ending: Richard Schwinn runs Waterford Precision Bicycles and doing fine.
