Tan lines on arms and legs, falling off your bike at traffic lights because you couldn't unclip, and applying lotion to… well, where the sun don't shine. That's road cycling: sometimes awkward, never boring. In "on asphalt," Max Marquardt takes you into the pure lifestyle of road bikes. It's not a manual, but a collection of stories and observations that capture the emotion, excitement, and eccentricity of the sport. You'll get answers to questions you might secretly have: why the shaved legs, why speed sometimes goes wrong, and what Italo-Pop has to do with cycling.
Why this book is interesting for you
If you love cycling — whether as a hobby, sport, or cultural phenomenon — this book offers recognition and new perspectives. Marquardt combines personal stories with encounters with well-known and colorful personalities from the cycling world, such as Fabian Cancellara and John Degenkolb. Less obvious contributors, such as cartoonist Tegan Phillipps and fencing great Uwe Rohde, also offer their own take on what road racing means. The result is an open, vivid picture of cycling culture that will appeal to both novice riders and seasoned fans.
