In 1967 Peter Ward crashed in a training ride. While recovering, he wrote the iconic King of Sports: Cycling Road Racing, which hasn't been republished since. This new edition, reimagined for a twenty-first century audience, features restored original hand-drawn artwork and photography.
Over the last ten years I've unashamedly become part of the lycra brigade. I came across the original edition after Peter's daughter Cerise shared it on Facebook. After reading it until the cover fell off, I decided to reissue it with updated photos of Peter's glittering cycling career. Thanks to Luke Pajak's design, we managed to rehash this book for a contemporary audience.
