Reporting the Great Stories of Cycling HIstory
By Barry Boyce & Graham R. Jones

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 ‘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.

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.
