Penguin Presents the audio edition of The Secret Cyclist by The Secret Cyclist, read by Ben Eagle.

Who is The Secret Cyclist and why all the secrecy?

"Every public aspect of our lives is so tightly controlled that being truly honest is all but impossible in a newspaper interview, never mind a whole book. You try write a warts-and-all blog about your office. Question how the business is run, make sure you remember to call your boss a moron, and then tell me how it goes."

He's ridden for World Tour teams for ten years. He's achieved top ten finishes in Grand Tours. He likes coffee. These are just a few details about the professional rider who wants you to know what the view looks like from the centre of the peloton.

What do the riders really make of Team Sky? How does the pay structure work? Why should you never trust a kit endorsement from a professional? Is doping still an issue? The Secret Cyclist tackles the big questions head-on, revealing a side to cycling that fans have never seen before.

Lots of interesting info, really fun to read, something every cyclist will love if they are in to following road racing.

Very entertaining and simple

With identity hidden he was able to be honest and I really enjoyed that. An interesting, assumably non biased look in the life of a pro cyclist.

Refreshing

I'm so glad that I have read this book because it changed completely my perspective towards this world, and made it very clear not to chase or envy, but going for the fun of it, enjoying the cycling "old school style" and just ride.

That book is a "Born to Run" for cyclists

Not really an introduction to professional cycling; the book is more of a memoir, though anonymous, and so perhaps better for somewhat knowledgeable fans of the sport. In some ways it is a bit dated; the sport has changed in the years since this was written and there are some gripes about aspects that are normal now. Relatedly it is somewhat amusing to hear about the past legends (of the time the book was written) and compare their achievements and status to today’s top young riders. That said, it is quite an honest view of the sport, though personal; it was cool to hear the author’s spouse’s own perspective and voice. In such aspects, no doubt much remains accurate.

Good for cycling fans

A practitioner’s perspective. Provided a franks conversation and genuinely acknowledged where that perspective may not know everything. Others in the genre sometimes reflect themselves as omniscient this was humble and felt more real.

Honest

I think I have the author down to 3 people. Although I would not be surprised if it were actually Phil Gaimon and he purposefully add fake stuff to get us off track. This is a fast book and you will be done in know time wishing it was just an hour longer.

I have a guess

Writing felt like it was cranked out using ai. Lots of vague generalizations. Younger guys don’t like to socialize. Everyone trains too hard. Rubbish

So over generalized
