VÆDDELØBER er Matti Breschels hæsblæsende og humoristiske historie om at gå fra at være en drengerøv med fart i benene til at blive en af verdens bedste cykelryttere og køre for nogle af cykelsportens allerstørste hold. Han vandt flere VM-medaljer og løb, kørte med helt fremme i klassikere og først over målstregen på en Grand Tour-etape. I 15 år levede han på landevejene som en del af det professionelle felt med masser af succes, lige så mange skuffelser, slemme styrt og sjove stunder i og af sadlen. Hans fortælling er et vildt ridt fyldt med blod, sved, tårer, sammenbidte tænder af smerte og et skævt smil på læberne.I VÆDDELØBER skriver Matti Breschel åbenhjertigt om det specielle forhold til sin far, der hjalp ham med at realisere en barnedrøm om at blive cykelsportsstjerne, men nogle gange så meget, at døre blev smadret eller de kom op at slås. Det er ikke kun en personlig beretning om cykellivet oplevet indefra, det er også en kærlighedserklæring til sporten på godt og ondt - til regnvåde dage i et forblæst Flandern, til fortidens helte, til gear og lir og til det omrejsende cykelcirkus og alle dets røverhistorier.

A love letter to the beaches and boardwalks of the Jersey Shore, this is the first visual history of the passionate surf culture that has thrived on the Atlantic coast of New Jersey, and its influence on the worlds of surfing, skateboarding, and beyond. Often overlooked for the warmer waters of its Hawaiian and Californian counterparts, the Atlantic coast of New Jersey has inspired a surf culture all its own, and in turn has held unsung influence over the history of the sport in America. Drawing on archives of photographs and ephemera from private collections, and from those held in the New Jersey Surf Museum and New Jersey Surfing Hall of Fame, this is a celebration of East Coast surfing, from its pioneering beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century to its heyday in the 1980s as the scene converged with skateboarding and a shared influence on street style. Alongside insightful texts that illuminate previously unheralded moments in the evolution of the sport, the book not only introduces some of the greatest unseen surf photography of the last century but also lets the Jersey Shore take its rightful place in the history of American surf culture.

At a time when justice not only needs to be done but also needs to be seen to be done, Kangaroo Justice and the Death of Mike Hall: An Australian Miscarriage of Justice asks some difficult questions that deserve to be heard and answered.On 31 March 2017 British ultra-endurance cyclist Mike Hall was struck and killed in Australia while riding his bicycle towards Canberra. At the inquest into his death, Mike was portrayed as not being conspicuous enough to motorists. Yet his reflective clothing was not retained by police, and other physical evidence was inexplicably sent back to the family.The driver was never charged even though he was speeding, with headlights that he stated could only project two metres and brakes that worked intermittently. Meanwhile the driver's blood toxicology results were not presented to the Coroner until the eleventh hour, and have been kept from scrutiny - until now.Kangaroo Justice and the Death of Mike Hall: An Australian Miscarriage of Justice is not an easy read.

This book may anger you and it may frustrate you, and perhaps it will move you to tears. But if it also motivates you to speak out, or speak up, then we have done right by Mike.

On June 14, 2018, when almost at the halfway mark of the 4,208-mile Trans Am Bike Race from Oregon to Virginia, Minnesotan cyclist John Egbers was struck from behind, in broad daylight, by a car driven by Mr Angel Labra. The weather that day was clear, and the road was straight and dry. Three weeks later, John's heart stopped beating. Mr Labra's excuse was that he was distracted by the nearby fields. The Kansas Highway Patrol and the Wichita County Sheriff's Office failed to charge Mr Labra, and Wichita County Attorney Laura Lewis agreed with them that John's death was just a tragic accident. In doing so, she failed to hold the driver accountable for his actions or to deliver justice for John, his wife and their family.That same week two other competitors in the race were also struck from behind by Kansan drivers - Englishman Ash Sharp and American T.C. Cheng. While Ash made a full recovery, T.C. struggles daily with life-changing spinal injuries. In telling their stories, Diminished By One celebrates their love of cycling and the friendships that develop in races like the Trans Am Bike Race. It is also a testament to how the human spirit can triumph over adversity.
