Tim Krabbe's "The Rider" I mistakenly entitled "The Cyclist" above. Also.........any of Maynard Hershon's pieces usually published as collections such as "Half-Wheel Hell". A little hokey, but he writes about social and personal angles of cycling and often dates himself backto the days of Lemond, Chiapucci, etc. Fun to curl up with. May be out of print.
Agree about Hershon. An excellent writer I've enjoyed for decades. Google his name and if you dig you can find past magazine columns and articles.
