5 books to buy for cycling dads this Father’s Day
Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and many people are still struggling what to buy as a gift. Research shows that 44% of Brits believe Dads are the hardest to buy for out of the family. It’s no surprise that people are likely to leave their Father’s Day shopping till the last minute and rely on gift guides.
Ahead of this Father’s Day on the 19th of June, leading specialist bike insurer cycleGuard has been looking at the top 5 books to buy for cycling-obsessed Dads and Grandads.
Head of Marketing at cycleGuard, Alex Bennett said: “There is no doubt that cycling has really grown in popularity over recent years with a focus on greener forms of transport and more attention on a healthy lifestyle. The industry around it has also grown which can certainly be seen in the increased volume of cycling literature available in the market”.
Here are two top recommendations from cycleGuard:
The Official History of the Tour De France
Now that cycling is so popular, there are many well-known bike races across the planet each year. While things like the Vuelta may have their own prestige, king of the hill is still the Tour De France for many. Whether your Dad or Grandad cycle and appreciate just how tough it is, or simply like watching the thrilling action unfold, this top race always delivers. This book is the perfect celebration of the Tour De France with over 300 pictures and many stories from the race's proud history. Also included in the book are postcards, old newspaper articles, and stickers to give a real sense of the race's heritage.
My World - Peter Sagan
One of the best cycling autobiographies is certainly 'My World' by Slovak rider Peter Sagan. This supremely gifted cyclist has been one of the real success stories of recent times and won many prestigious titles and stages. In 2019, Sagan became the first rider to win points classification at the Tour de France seven times. This enthralling autobiography tells the story of how he got into cycling and takes you behind the scenes of modern pro cycling. A really entertaining read, it also showcases Sagan's unique personality to great measure.
Hit the spot with cycle-mad Dads
