Bradley Wiggins: My Hour (Hardback)

My Hour is Bradley Wiggins’s inside account of one of the toughest challenges in sport: riding as far as possible in a single, brutal, 60‑minute effort. For one summer evening, the nation stopped to watch as Wiggins — Tour de France winner, Olympic champion and one of Britain’s most loved cyclists — took on the legendary Hour Record.

The idea sounds simple: ride your bike for an hour and see how far you get. But as Eddy Merckx once said, it’s the hardest thing a rider can do. In this revealing book, Wiggins takes you behind the scenes of his record‑breaking attempt, from the planning and training to the mental battles and physical suffering that define the Hour.

He reflects on the sacrifices, the heroes who inspired him, and the people who helped him reach this moment at the twilight of his career. Supported by stunning photography, My Hour captures the drama, precision and sheer willpower behind one of cycling’s most iconic achievements — and celebrates a rider who has shaped British sport like few others.
