Bike racers were Americas media darlings less than a century agodashing, eccentric, and very rich daredevils. Until the 1920s bike races drew larger crowds than all other American sports events, including Major League Baseball games. Prize-winning racer and journalist Peter Joffre Nye vividly re-creates this period of sports history, forgotten until now, in Hearts of Lions, a true story of courage, daring, and occasional lunacy.

Revised, updated, and expanded, this second edition of Hearts of Lions is based on interviews with more than one thousand cyclists whose racing careers span from 1908 through the 2016 Rio Olympics, along with interviews with trainers and family members. Included are stories about Joseph Magnani, the lone American from southern Illinois who rode on the dusty roads of Europe in road racings golden era of the 1930s and 1940s  Lance Armstrong, whose rise in the mid-1990s was eclipsed in the doping era that still casts a long shadow over the sport  Kristin Armstrong, a three-time Olympic gold medalist who set new standards for women in cycling  and Evelyn Evie Stevens, who chucked a Wall Street career in her mid-twenties to compete in two Olympics and win several world championship gold medals.
