Good bikey reads

For anyone that enjoys Tim Krabbe's "The Rider". I can recommend Bert Wagendorp's "Ventoux".

I cannot describe it any better than this:

Like Krabbe's book, it invites re-reading and reveals additional detail each time.

I can add my endorsement for this book; it's really excellent.

Another one is Gold by Chris Cleeve.  Like Ventoux, it's mostly about people, but bikes provide the setting.  Both books are very poignant.
