Can't say I've ever heard of her before. But I have just had a quick glance at her web site, and I have judged her books by their covers.
Won't be bothering.

Actually the Wind in My Wheels has a fairly harrowing account of someone trying to rape her. But then it reverts to type.
Did you read any of her news pages? She's a mother now you know and has a camper van. All good stuff

Oh bugger, you know where I dwells!
Hopefully I can redeem myself with a more serious suggestion?

Not read it, but I do have a copy somewhere. I bought it for the missus years ago and she won't read it as it looked boring to her. It's just fluffy chick lit stuff with a story based around the big race I'd say from the cursory glance I've given it.
I only suggested it as a joke and because it is a novel, not a non-fiction.
Lark Rise to Candleford, currently being serialised on TV has a couple of pages about cycling in it.Apparently cycling club outings in the 1890s were led by a cyclist with a bugle to warn of their approach, and it was a custom to send a telegram from the farthest point away from home on a day's ride to both prove that you were OK and that you had actually cycled so far.

Surprised noone's yet mentioned Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman.

I agree with everything you say, but i still rather like Josie Dew!! The first one is by far the best...and the attempted rape story is pretty awful!!! I enjoy them in an easy-to-read kind of way...
