The Take-Off

Indian cyclists are having great adventures on the road but their stories are not widely known. For the first time, one can read true stories by 37 Indian cyclists, all in one book.


Read stories by the top cycling champions representing India, as well as accounts by ordinary people pushing their limits. Each story will take you to a different cyclistís ride and mind.


Go from a suspenseful race finish by the national road cycling champion Naveen John in Jamkhandi to an amateurís attempt to survive a race in Gujarat; from cycling in the deep jungles of Coonoor to training for a race during shutdown in Kashmir; from cycling alone to cycling in tandem.


Lose yourself in the book or gift it to someone. Perfect for both adults and children, the stories are inspiring, thrilling and sometimes moving.
