About this product

Product Information

This is the story of Alf Engers and the pursuit of speed, set against a backdrop of cycling clubs, shop-owners, framebuilders, riders, racers, team managers and officials. It loops from the Paddington Track to the Skol Six, Herne Hill to the National Road Race Championships and from Boroughbridge to Barnet, in and out of time and place to capture the truth of a racing career of unequalled achievement, charisma and controversy. Constructed from extensive interviews with Alf Engers, I Like Alf is the definitive tale of a mythical and charismatic folk hero of British cycling. Where I came from it was so very different: up at five o'clock in the morning, the tinkle of shoe plates on the road, the smell of embrocation, the stillness of the morning, just you and the timekeeper: 5-4-3-2-1-GO! It is the essence of cycling. If I had gone on to do what I wanted to do I would have won the Tour de France, but that's how the dice were rolled.

  • Unputdownable.

    Captures the essence of Alf by an author who, like the rest of us, is in awe of the man. The content adds to the legend.I couldn't put it down and neither could the person who I lent it to. If you are looking for a dispassionate biography weighing up all of Alf's achievements against the sacrifices made to achieve them, then this is not that book. I doubt that Alf would help the author of such a book. Enjoy this, learn from it and wonder why certain questions weren't asked. Enigmatic and brillliant - both the book and the man.

  • A very well written account of time trialling.

    Brought the challenges Alf Engers faced to light and showed what a strong and determined athlete he was. Thoroughly enjoyable and educational read.
