Features a foreword by Phil Liggett, the voice of the legendary man behind the English-language broadcasts of the Tour de France. Christine Elliott and David Jablonka share a love of cycling that has taken them on cycling trips through Italy, Greece, and the USA, believing that cycling is a wonderful way to experience the sights, sounds, and aromas of another country.
