About this listen
Like no other cycling book, from no other rider - Britain's cycling star shares his unique take on the world of cycling
Sit back or saddle up as double Olympic gold medallist and multiple world champion Geraint Thomas gives you a warts and all insight into the life of a pro cyclist. Along the way he reveals cycling's clandestine codes and secret stories, tales from the peloton, the key characters like Wiggins, Hoy and Cav, the pivotal races and essential etiquette.
Geraint Thomas is treasured for treating his sport just as the rest of us see it: not a job but an escape and an adventure. He's been with Team Sky since its inception, and is one of our most successful and gifted track and road riders, but Geraint reminds us that getting on the bike still puts a smile on your face and fire in the legs like nothing else.
Funny, informative, diverting and droll, this is a joyful celebration of the world of cycling.

What did you like most about The World of Cycling According to G?
Geraint gives a different insight into the cycling world than many of the other books written on this subject. There is some of the "geeky" facts that some may enjoy but it is ability to communicate the human aspects of what he does that make this book interesting. If you have seen him being interviewed you can tell he is less media polished than many other cyclists however it is this retention of personality that makes this book listen-able. You dont need to be mad about cycling to enjoy this book, I am neither male or a road cyclist, but do have a passing interest in the sport however Geraint explains the sport in a way that it would be accessible to all.Any additional comments?
Having the author read the book always adds an extra dimension to the delivery however Tom Blumberg undertook that task well and adds to the enjoyment.A humorous insight into the world of pro cycling
