The Bike Book

Product Information

Part travelogue, part memoir, part romance, part paean to the bicycle—and part bemused and panicky account of a middle-aged man’s attempt to stave off, well, you know—Life Is a Wheel is “a book for cyclists, and for anyone who has ever dreamed of such transcontinental travels. That in my mind is an entire new partnership model between manufacturing partners, a team of athletes and subsequently distribution channels around the world. He spent every spare minute he had on a revolutionary rider-specific bike design he’d secretly been perfecting for years.

Since the Olympics didn’t happen [in 2020], we said to let it rest and see if the bike gets used later. We have shown to not be a fly by night and our current sponsors are not just sponsors, they have become true business partners. However, there’s also the principle of Occam’s Razor, which says the simplest and most obvious explanation to a problem is most often the correct one.

I’m amazed how Brett can see things coming from mile away, he is a true genius in the coaching world. More recently, however, the bike has also generated some serious controversy as renowned cycling engineer and aerodynamicist Richard McAinsh — together with Dutch brand Kú Cycle, which McAinsh founded with Alex Bok — is now claiming the design was stolen.

Interestingly, Bok says the British team bike actually missed out on a newer aero feature — Kú Cycle’s triathlon bike hides its raised head tube behind the rider’s arms — presumably because the design was inspired by an earlier iteration of McAinsh’s concept. Bok told me he and McAinsh agreed that there should be just one point of public contact over this matter, and in fact, I first contacted McAinsh, who deferred to Bok (Bok also mentioned McAinsh is currently on holiday). Alex: We are currently in discussion in places such as Italy, Canada, China and Japan, but we need more progress before we can make firm announcements.Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Stomp Distribution LTD acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers. Given McAinsh’s reaction when he first became aware of the British Cycling track bike, and what seem to be clear “borrowing” of his intellectual property, it’s fair to wonder why the pair waited so long to sound the alarm. Normally you start a sports team with the backing of some big sponsors with strong financial support from day one. Within 5 years, The Bike Boutique had grown into a franchise, receiving significant international media attention and branching out to 6 different countries.

Mr มา just happened to be in Yala, and just happened to be at a market next to the road I was using at the exact time I passed by.

In this modern age of social media, it’s almost unbelievable there wasn’t even a mention of the dispute on Twitter (and I will certainly admit that I don’t think I would have displayed the same level of self-restraint).
