The Srampagmano Tales follows a group of cyclists on their annual pilgrimage from London to Brighton. Representing a wide cross-section of riders, they each share a tale of their own time spent in the saddle: from remote rides through the night to delivering packages in the City; from the existential deliberations of the grimpeur to the style choices of the fakenger. Written in the same narrative verse as Chaucer's famous text, The Srampagmano Tales is a witty and knowing account of what it means to ride a bicycle, and the enduring joy experienced by cyclists everywhere. ***please note, the online preview is a low resolution version, and not representative of the quality of the cover & illustrations in the paperback***
