About the book:
The Perils of the Cycling Fan presents the story of an avid cycling and sports fan’s search for the meaning of just this: Being a fan. Why do we cheer some, just because they excel in athleticism? And how do we handle it, when we’re confronted with moral dilemmas when our heroes fall because of doping, human flaws, etc.?
Through scenes from his childhood, youth and adulthood, Morten Olsen brings us on a human journey, baring his own emotions, discussing the social structure around sports fandom and guiding us through a tour de force of the biggest stories and battles in cycling from the early 2000’s of Armstrong, Ullrich and Basso until the rise of the unbeatable Pogacar.
A book that’s sure to hit home with cycling and sports fans, who are able to both view themselves in Morten Olsen’s story and will get a stunning review of the largest events of professional cycling in this millennium.
