Already read:

North Wind in Your Spokes

Immortal Class

Miles From Nowhere

Downhill............Marla Streb

Tales from the Bike Shop

It's Not About the Bike

Heft on Wheels

Metal Cowboy

various books on the history of mountain biking...........Birth of Dirt....etc.

Cold Beer & Crocodiles: A Bicycle Journey Into Australia, by Roff Smith is a very good read

'The Official Tour De France Centennial 1903-2003.' Everything you ever wanted to know.

Rough Ride, Paul Kimmage
Flying Scotsman, Graham OBree
French Revolutions, Tim Moore
Mr Tom, Chris Sidwells

Also I enjoyed reading the autobiographies of Reg Harris and Beryl Burton, "Two Wheels to the Top" and "Personal Best" I think they were called.

This sounds like what I'm looking for, picked it up on ebay for 7 bucks shipped.

The Flying Scotsman interests me as well, thanks for the recommendations.
