Graeme Fife, author of the seminal ‘Tour de France, the History, the Legend, the Riders’ and ‘Inside the Peloton’ has now turned to his own cycling experience for ‘The Beautiful Machine, a Life in Cycling from Tour de France to Cinder Hill’, a book that is a celebration of his lifelong association with the joys of cycling and the eponymous piece of machinery.

Graeme will be giving a talk and signing copies of the book, offered at the price of £15.00, at Velorution, 18 Great Titchfield Street, W1W 8BD, between 7 and 10pm on Thursday 17 May. A bar is available.
