“Nigel’s approach takes the guesswork out of riding on a plant-based diet”
– Si Richardson, GCN Presenter
Nigel’s many, many years of experience (not to mention a fair few early mornings and late nights) have gone into the creation of this book – all with the hope that you won’t need to invest anywhere near as much time yourself, instead taking its shortcuts to reap the benefits of being a plant-based cyclist. After all, the less time faffing with the minutiae of diet plans, macronutrients, or trying to track down obscure ingredients is more time spent doing what we all love: riding bikes – purely and simply. Oh, and having fun, of course. Lots of it.

I like the breakdown of macro and micro nutrients and gut health - and their application to cycling. There may be a little more scientific detail than I need, but more is better than less. Very comprehensive, helpful, and applicable. Diet plans and recipes are helpful too. Really solid book.
As a vegan and a cyclist, this is the book I was looking for. I didnt know that much about the proper nutrition to get better and faster but I have learned so much! I just love it. Its also very beautiful and I show it off to my friends.
Good discussion. Not really a cookbook. Wish there were more recipes.
