Richard Moore
1973-2022

The Cycling Podcast was founded in 2013 by Richard Moore, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie.

The cyclist and his shadow, written by Olivier Haralambon and translated into English from the original French by François Thomazeau is The Cycling Podcast’s latest book. It also features a foreword by Richard Moore.

Reading Olivier's book takes you into the very flesh of bike riding, it leads you straight into the noises, the sights, the smells, the urges involved in leaving the upward position for the stoop in the saddle. But it also takes you into the saddle itself, into the frame and the cogs and even the road, the tarmac, the rain and the sweat. It is more a book to feel than a book to read.

François Thomazeau
