From the fin-de-siécle velodromes of North America to the glamour and chaos of the first women’s Tour de France, the book is told through the lives of the great champions and heroines, who include stunt women and speed skaters, young mothers and teenage tearaways. The significance of their trailblazing stories greatly expanded the women’s racing scene of today and their direct legacy forms an unbroken thread since the invention of the bicycle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul class=\"sc-b08ba917-2 cwKQYe\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp class=\"sc-de46bc74-0 dOgqHo\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“You get the feeling that Best cares about these riders as people, theyʼre not just the source of bike-bound myths and legends, they exist in the real world.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul class=\"sc-b08ba917-2 cwKQYe\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp class=\"sc-de46bc74-0 dOgqHo\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– Feargal McKay, Podium Café\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul class=\"sc-b08ba917-2 cwKQYe\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp class=\"sc-de46bc74-0 dOgqHo\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Some absolutely wonderful stories about some of the real heroines of womenʼs cycling.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul class=\"sc-b08ba917-2 cwKQYe\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp class=\"sc-de46bc74-0 dOgqHo\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— Richard Moore on The Cycling Podcast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul class=\"sc-b08ba917-2 cwKQYe\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp class=\"sc-de46bc74-0 dOgqHo\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Best should be praised not only for her research into the lives of these women cyclists, but for narratives that are every bit as compulsive as the tenacity of her subjects.
