A slow death is not for me. I don't do anything slow, not even breathe. Lance Armstrong

In 1996, 24-year-old Lance Armstrong was ranked the number one cyclist in the world. But that October the Golden Boy of American cycling was sidelined by advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain. His chance for recovery was as low as 20 per cent. Armstrong embarked on the most aggressive form of chemotherapy available and underwent surgery—including brain surgery—to remove cancer that other treatments could not reach. Five months after his diagnosis he resumed training under a cloud of uncertainty.

This is the story of a journey from inauspicious beginnings through tragedy, transformation and transcendence. It is a story of early success, near fatal cancer, survival, recovery and finally triumph in successive Tours de France and the Sydney Olympics.

Filled with the physical, emotional and spiritual details of his recovery, It’s Not About the Bike traces the remarkable journey of this great athlete to a singularly inspiring appreciation of life lived to the fullest.
Softcover; 311 pages; 195mm x 130mm; Black and White Photography; Armstrong, Lance with Sally Jenkins
