About the Author

Track information and interviews in the present edition are classic and incredibly valuable to anyone who wants to understand bicycle racing on the velodrome. The photos (300+) are classic and valuable. Velodromes (locations, activities) change every year. I always hear from new converts to the sport: This is the most exciting thing I've ever seen! Publishing of NO BRAKES! Bicycle Track Racing in the United States; a survey of velodrome racing events and locations in the U.S. (304 photos, 1996) was essential. Newest Champion rider biography: RAINBOW QUEST: The Adventurous Life of Audrey McElmury, America's First World Road Cycling Champion (2016), plus, HANDSLING: The Sequel to Breaking Away (2016). Handsling and Rainbow Quest are available on Kindle and will soon be available on audiobook.
