Whether you ride a bike or not, summer is the perfect time to pick up a book about cycling.
2. 'The Rider,' by Tim Krabbé
This classic in the field of biking literature can be described as a love letter to bike racing. It puts the reader inside the head of Dutch novelist and cyclist Tim Krabbé as he rides a 137-kilometer race through some of the toughest mountain terrain of the Tour de France. As he rides he meditates on his own attachment to the sport, as well as that of other cyclists.
