Rouleur editor Edward Pickering interviews cycling and active travel journalist Laura Laker about her excellent new book Potholes & Pavements: a Bumpy Ride on Britain's National Cycling Network.

The stories and people within cycling are the sport's real asset. As bike racing grows each year, the gap between the riders and fans only getting bigger – Beyond the Bike is here to close that circle. There's a lot more to know about professional bike riders than you might think. Canyon//SRAM's Kasia Niewiadoma spent five years of her career chasing a victory. After countless podiums, she finally got the big win at La Flèche Wallonne in April this season and the success was a product of hard work, determination and grit. The Polish rider believes that that her ability to never give up on her dreams comes from her honest and humble beginnings, as well as the long and tough journey she's embarked on to make it to the top of the sport.

Rouleur editor Edward Pickering and photojournalist James Startt convene in Nice to discuss the big stories of the 2024 Tour de France.
