What is The fastest man on 2 wheels : in pursuit of Chris Boardman about?
"They used to talk of 52 kilometres as a mythical barrier, now it's been crossed, there are no longer any limits." A fitting accolade from Francesco Moser, the previous holder of the world one hour record for almost a decade, as he paid tribute to Chris Boardman's record-breaking cycling achievement in 1993. But who exactly was this young Wirral amateur rider who followed his instincts and, with the help of a few friends, a dedicated coach, an a very special bike reshaped the record books in twelve short months? Over 80 action-packed and behind-the-scenes photographs enhance Boardman's remarkable story of achievement, with personal insights and revelations that the media failed to uncover.
