What Ed Clancy doesn’t know about cycling isn’t worth knowing
Unless you’ve worked out how to stop time, you’re going to need this book
Getting older doesn't mean the end of your cycling. Not even close. Ed Clancy and Lexie Williamson show you how to optimize training to keep it going – and even ride further and faster
A timely reminder that age is no reason to slow down
If the mind is willing but the legs are asking questions, this book has the answers!
A book that will doubtless help others get as much out of this marvellous machine as Ed Clancy does
Brilliant advice, light-hearted and insightful. A valuable read from a multiple Olympic Champion (and total legend!)
[From] Legendary British Cyclist Ed Clancy [the book is] especially to help cyclists who have a few miles on the clock … do have a look
