Behind the lens of the greatest cycling film of all time.
William Fotheringham is the number-one bestselling author of Merckx- Half Man, Half Bike. He writes for the Guardian and Observer on cycling and rugby and is the critically lauded author of Fallen Angel, Roule Britannia, and Put Me Back on My Bike, which Velo magazine called `the best cycling biography ever written'. A racing cyclist and launch editor of Procycling and Cycle Sport magazines, he has reported on over twenty Tours de France.
William Fotheringham… Can legitimately stake a claim to being the
Bard of the Bike, the most prolific and mythic of cycling writers,
the Ernest Hemingway of two wheels.
*Independent*
There are few finer scribes on the subject in this country than
William Fotheringham.
*On: Yorkshire Magazine*
Arguably the best film ever made about professional cycling.
*Peter Cowie, International Film Guide*
You can see every bead of sweat on the cyclists and every
smashed-up ankle. It really makes you never want to get on a bike
again. But it is an amazing film.
*Nick Fraser, BBC commissioning editor*
