Summary: It's not about the Bike
Review: This is a winner. Lance brings you through every aspect of his thoughts and feelings. I could not put this book down. If you are not touched by what he has to say, then you must be dead. What a great read.

Summary: What a great read!
Review: My husband is an avid cyclist, and was at last year's Tour de France watching Lance win the yellow jersey in one of the stages. Therefore, my interest in him and the sport is purely through my husband. This book gives such intimate insight into the mind of the athlete and cycling in general. Not only that, it is a moving story not "just about the bike", but about a man who has an unfailing determination to live life to the fullest. What a great read it was! I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: A Real Inspiration to Chemotherapy Patients
Review: I'm an avid cyclist who is in the midddle of a round of chemotherapy - so I can totally relate to this book.I've read a lot of books on cancer and attitude since being diagnosed, but none drove home the point that ANYTHING is possible as well as this one did. Winning the Tour would be enough of a triumph - but to come back from chemotherapy and surgery and win it...awesome! Believe me - Lance is not overstating the affect that treatment has on your body - the comeback is astounding. It's given me a lot of courage and renewed my determination - I think it will do that for a lot of people. I literally had tears in my eyes as I read the account of his ride into Sestriere. And it's not just about cancer - if you love cycling it's a great cycling book too! The behind the scenes information of what goes on in the peloton is a great read. Thanks Lance!

Summary: I could not put it down, my attention was riveted.
Review: I am a avid reader and cyclist. I am generally reading two to four books at a time. When I started to read "It's Not about the Bike", all my other books remained closed until I finished this one - cover to cover. My twelve year old son is starting to read it now and while some parts are a bit graphic, the inspirational material is exceptional.

Summary: Wow!
Review: What an amazing individual. . .this book read like one of John Grisham's page turners, but with a ton more substance obviously. The strength and beliefs of Lance are simply unmatched. The book is very inspirational and ranks right up there with "Tuesdays with Morrie" in terms of content and the issues it questions of readers. A must read, for both athletes and none athletes .

Summary: The best I have read!
Review: I am not the most avid reader, but I like biographies of sports "Heroes." This book is in fact the best I have read. The story flows well chronologically and tells a truely heartfelt story of overcoming struggles. The action vs. emotion is very well done. It is not about the bike and I could not put it down. AWESOME!
Rating:
Summary: AWESOME
Review: I just finished this book and I can honestly say that I have not been so emotionally moved by any other book. Of course I am a huge LA fan but this book will take you through emotions comparable to the ascents and descents of the Alps and Pyrennes encountered in the Tour de France. Bold and matter of fact writing that keeps you interested from cover to cover. Great insight into two of the most brutal struggles put to man-the Tour de France and cancer. As the book says,"VIVA LANCE!"

Summary: patience and acceptance
Review: Excellent ! If cancer were to strike us ..could we handle it as well as Lance did ? Before reading this book I had doubt ! when I finished reading its not about the bike ...and jumped on my bike the hills of the road had now become my medicine .

Summary: Sounds like someone else we (Bikers) know.
Review: I thought the book was excellent. I also started the book and couldn't put it down until I had finished. Lance is truly an American Hero and everything in this book says so. From a cancer survivor to a biking legend and still going. He is going to have to look out for those walls on the way down the mountains though if he wants to continue biking. Luck lasts just so long. Greg Lemond had similar feelings about continuing biking after his hunting accident.
Rating:
Summary: A Must Read
Review: Whether you like bicycling or not this is a book to be read and reread. The courageous story of this world class athlete will amaze and touch you. This man is a true American hero who can evoke emotions with words as well as his performances.
