Editor's Note:
‘Er is één boek waar dit heel dichtbij komt: De renner van Tim Krabbé. De boeken zijn niet hetzelfde, maar de kern van beide - 'dingen waar we aan denken als we aan fietsen denken' - komt overeen. De twee boeken vullen elkaar aan.’ - Feargal McKay op www.PodiumCafé.com 'Dit is precies wat je wilt dat een goed wielerboek is. Het zijn allemaal korte hoofdstukken waarin hij filosofisch maar niet pretentieus schrijft over wielrennen. Het is een ongelooflijk goed boek. Mijn tip: schaf dit aan. Lees en zie dat er ook buiten Tim Krabbé heel goed over wielrennen kan worden geschreven.' - Frank Heinen op Het is Koers Bekroond met de Prix Sport-Scriptum (voor het beste sportboek van 2001) en de Prix Louis-Nucera. Ik en mijn fiets (bekroond met de Prix Sport-Scriptum voor het beste Franse sportboek) is een fascinerende mix van herinneringen, observaties en ervaringen van een leven lang fietsen. Beginnend met de vreugde om te leren fietsen als kind, schrijft Paul Fournel ook over de pijn van het klimmen, de angst om te vallen en alle andere universele momenten en gevoelens die fietsers zullen herkennen. ‘Wanneer je bij inspanningen en plezier op de boodschappen van je lichaam blijft letten, kun je op je fiets een elegante innerlijke reis maken. Een reis die nooit eindigt, een permanente opleiding, een voortdurende bijscholing. De dialoog die je met je dijen voert is een rijke dialoog die je helpt je grenzen vast te stellen, je uithoudingsvermogen te vergroten, pijn te verdragen en het onverdraaglijke te herkennen.’ Paul Fournel (1947) heeft romans, korte verhalen en talloze boeken voor jongeren gepubliceerd. Voor zijn boek Les Athlètes dans leur tête ontving hij in 1989 de prestigieuze Prix Goncourt de la Nouvelle. Daarnaast schreef hij onder andere het fietswoordenboek Méli-Vélo (2008) en de bekroonde biografie Anquetil tout seul (2012). In de pers: ‘Ik en mijn fiets is een vertaling van Besoin de vélo, het boek waarmee Paul Fournel in 2001 de prijs voor beste Franse sportboek won. Wie het leest zal snappen waarom. In deze ode aan de fiets hoor je het suizen van de wind, voel je de pijn van verzuurde spieren en de grofheid van het asfalt dat bij een valpartij de huid van je heup scheurt. Fournel schrijft beeldend, romantisch, gevoelig, mijmerend en voert zijn lezer van de ene naar de andere herkenbare situatie en van de ene naar de andere verrassende observatie. […] Het resultaat is een allesomvattende, aanstekelijke liefdesbetuiging aan de fiets, een boek voor iedereen die van de fiets houdt of de liefde voor de fiets (een beetje) is verloren en er weer naar terugverlangt.’ – Procycling
