      abstract = {Drawing on extensive ethnographic, qualitative and  quantitative research, this monograph provides a novel  account of masculinities in an individual sport:  competitive road cycling. Chapters present varied analyses  on male cyclists relationship with masculinity, the culture  of competitive road cycling, cyclists attitudes toward  injury management, sexual minority and womens experiences  in the sport, and autoethnographic accounts of the authors  own experiences of being involved in the sport for over ten  years. The author also examines how masculinity impacts  male cyclists attitudes towards competition, risk taking  and doping practices. This book will be of interest to  scholars and researchers in sports sociology, gender  studies, and masculinity studies. Jack Hardwicke is a  Lecturer in Sport and Health Sciences in the Faculty of  Arts, Science and Technology at the University of  Northampton. His research interests include the sociology  of sporting subcultures, masculinities, socio-cultural  approaches to understanding sporting injury and  mixed-method social research.},
