In the cycling world, the term 'Cycling Widow' has long been used to describe the spouse of someone with OCD (Obsessive Cycling Disorder).

 

All across the globe, these women live a lonely life in the shadow of this affliction.

 

Until now, the world of the Cycling Widow has remained shrouded in secrecy. But here, the author – a long-suffering Cycling Widow herself – lifts the veil to candidly reveal the trials and tribulations of living with a cyclomaniac, deftly tackling controversial issues such as the addictive scourge of bike porn, cycling safety, how best to handle fetid cycling clothes after a ride, the Curse of the MAMIL in older pedallers, and the old chestnut: taking a vacation without the 'other woman' (ie her husband's pesky bike).

 

This book includes a handy test to find out – for once and for all – whether it really is a case of 'hobby or obsession'. And don't miss out on the bonus Survival Guide at the end featuring a Revenge Toolkit and Agony Aunt column! Packed with coping mechanisms and satisfying tactics, it's designed to support both the new or seasoned Cycling Widow through desperate times.

 

Take heart! This satirical exposé of cycling might just save a few marriages – as well as many a bike from being fed into the garden mulcher.
