S10 Ep162: Kilometre 0 The cyclist and his shadow
b'
This episode of Kilometre 0 features Fran\\xe7ois Thomazeau talking about The cyclist and his shadow by Olivier Haralambon, which was published by The Cycling Podcast earlier this year.
\\n
\\nThe book is a vivid exploration of what it is to ride a bike by Olivier, a philosopher and former racing cyclist.
\\n
\\nAt the end of the 2020 Tour de France, Fran\\xe7ois described the book \\u2013 published in its original French as Le coureur et son ombre\\xa0\\u2013 as his favourite cycling book, which piqued our interest. Fran\\xe7ois translated the book into English and The Cycling Podcast published it.
\\n
\\nReading 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.
