Roadie:The Misunderstood World of a Bike Racer

Veteran race announcer and long-time cycling enthusiast Jamie Smith sets out to explain the sport he loves and the roadies who live for it. Every seemingly neurotic tendency is explained and celebrated with humorous illustrations from nationally syndicated cartoonist Jef Mallett.

This book is perfect for:

• Anyone who has ever known a roadie
• Anyone who has considered becoming a roadie
• Anyone who has walked away from a bike race completely puzzled

Finally, a book to explain those people who roll out for a ride dressed in technicolored Lycra at the crack of dawn on Saturday, and return at sundown with a glow of satisfaction and even stronger tan lines. Whether interested onlooker or cycling aficionado, readers will find themselves laughing out loud as they revel in the roadie’s world.
