Author Biography
Nick Moore is a cyclist, writer, and cycling journalist. He was a high-mileage 'MAMIL' (middle-aged man in lycra) for over 10 years and had an epiphany when diagnosed with osteoarthritis aged 40. Since then, he has learnt to enjoy cycling for the journey rather than the destination. He pens a daily cycling blog, and this is his first book.
