The artistic all-rounder Andre Heller put it in a nutshell: “The real adventures are in the head, and if they are not in the head, then they are nowhere!” The most beautiful key to these adventures: books. And for all ciclistas in particular: books about cycling and more. Thanks to our nice cooperation with Covadonga, THE publisher for cycling literature, our shop and our HUB in Innsbruck are filled with the best reading copies. For the big cycling adventures in your head. Just recently arrived: “Socrates on the racing bike” by Guillaume Martin. Martin is one of the best racing cyclists in the world: at the Vuelta 2020 he won the mountain jersey, the Tour de France 2019 and 2020 he finished 12th and 11th. The Tour of Austria also knows him: in 2016 he finished second in the overall standings . But Martin is also a philosopher. A combination that amazes many. In order to dispel the prejudice that athletes have nothing on their minds, the French professional cyclist has written a book that combines his two great passions. In “Socrates on a racing bike” he sends the greatest thinkers in human history to the world’s greatest cycling race: the Tour de France. Worth reading!
