About Us
Reporting the Great Stories of Cycling HIstory

By Barry Boyce & Graham R. Jones
Bicycle racing at its highest levels has always fascinated millions of fans all over the world. What makes cycling stand out against so many other sports is its unique stadium – ‘the open road’. From the early days we have images of lone riders traversing countryside and mountains over roads built for horse traffic. Today we see the riders surrounded by dense crowds and supported by a convoy of team cars with the whole show under the watchful eye of a worldwide TV audience. Between these two very different times is a wealth of sporting and world history.

  • Will add richness and depth by delving deeper into the stories that make up the past and the present.
  • Will ‘educate’ and ‘entertain’ with cycling trivia, factual data, and accesses to other excellent cycling resources.
  • Will visits the regions that host the great races. We will reveal the local history, peoples, geography and much more.
  • Will build an archive of fascinating stories and facts with the objective of retaining the information for all time. This above all is our primary objective.

The story of cycle racing is a story of evolving society and culture. To lose it in the mists of time would be a sorry loss for all of us.
