The book is a collection of short articles about various aspects of cycling, rather than a full length coherent piece. As such, there's always going to be some that you resonate with and some that you don't, and so it proved. As a keen cyclist, I could relate to some of the tales, but not to others. It was also a shame that it doesn't include some of his bikepacking related shenanigans. Overall it was an enjoyable (ish) read, but unless you're proper into cycling and want to read about someone else's though /on their/ cycling, then I wouldn't bother.
