Patrick O'Grady shows little mercy in this amusing poke at his fellow cyclists. One hundred of his best cartoons and some of his zippiest columns sling humorous arrows at road cyclists, weekend warriors, and cyclo-cross fanatics. Targeting everyone from the "old guys who get fat in winter" to his "mud stud" -- the bike shop mechanic who can turn a bicycle into a guided missile -- O'Grady's acerbic wit is unsurpassed.

Best Cycling Humor Yet!,
This review is from: The Season Starts When? Cycling Cartoons By O'Grady (Paperback)
If you even look at a bicycle, you'll love this book. If you are, or once were a cycle racer ... even more so. I think you might find yourself in the pages somewhere...

Subversive cycling at its best,

This review is from: The Season Starts When? Cycling Cartoons By O'Grady (Paperback)
Patrick O'Grady is guerrilla cartooning at its finest. Whether he is poking holes in the traditional whipping posts of cycling (the IOC, Society du Tour de France, USCF, etc...) or the cyclists themselves (Old Guys Who Get Fat In Winter, the Mud Stud), O'Grady is always there to lob a grenade into the midst of the peloton. If you own more than 3 article made of Lycra (provided you were not a member of Whitesnake or Bon Jovi), you must own this book.
