Description

Join legendary British cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins as he reflects on life on and off the bike to celebrate his new memoir, The Chain.

A national hero and the first Briton to win the Tour de France, Wiggins boasts five Olympic golds, eight world titles, and eight Olympic medals. But behind the accolades lies a story tainted by contradiction, controversy, and confusion.

In 2012, fresh off Tour de France victory and Olympic gold, Wiggins had the world at his feet. Sporting hero. People’s champion. Everyone knew who ‘Wiggo’ was. Everyone, that is, but him.

His own truth was one of a chaotic and disturbing upbringing mired in abandonment, violence, and abuse. The bike had been his escape, a place where Wiggins pushed himself to extraordinary heights. But after retirement, he spiralled into deep personal despair, battling a drug addiction that nearly cost him his life.
