Bicycle Book Review It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life Lance Armstrong

It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life

In spite of all the recent allegations swirling about Lance Armstrong, it is worth reviewing his story.

In 1996, Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Just three years later, following treatment, he won the Tour de France in 1999.

This work discusses his early life, his rise through the cycling ranks and his medical difficulties.

One section of the book is particularly revealing and honest. Armstrong talks about his relationship to wife Kristin and explains the technology that allowed them to have a child.

The book ends with Armstrong's victory in France and the birth of their son.

As of the publication of this blog, however, Armstrong is once again in the news, once again for allegations of doping.

Lance Armstrong's ghost-written biography is worth a read, whatever your suspicions about doping.
