I say it every time this topic comes up: Tim Krabbé's "The Rider" is a
brilliant novel. It captures the deranged spirit of an amateur bicycle
race better than any other document.

Memoir rather than novel, "The Escape Artist" by Matt Seaton is a
similar tale from an amateur cyclist, and it is sad, but searingly true.
The happy post-script is that Seaton is racing again.

And of course, "Lance Armstrong's War" (Coyle) may be the best book
about LANCE (TIOOYK).
