Hay deportes que entretienen. Este cambi� el rumbo de la historia.
Durante m�s de dos siglos, ese artefacto de metal y caucho que millones de personas usan cada d�a ha sido protagonista silencioso de las grandes revoluciones de la historia moderna, y la historia oficial rara vez lo ha contado con la honestidad que merece. Pedaladas en la Historia llena ese vac�o con rigor y con una selecci�n de historias que el lector dif�cilmente encontrar� reunidas en ning�n otro lugar. Sab�as que el Tour de Francia naci� de una guerra entre periodistas dispuestos a arruinarse mutuamente para vender m�s peri�dicos? Que las primeras sufragistas usaron ese veh�culo como arma pol�tica antes de tener derecho al voto? Que los ej�rcitos europeos formaron batallones enteros de soldados sobre sill�n y que en la Francia ocupada esa m�quina silenciosa fue el principal veh�culo de la resistencia clandestina? Que el doping precede en d�cadas a cualquier programa antidopaje, con estricnina y coca�na integradas en los presupuestos de los equipos con la misma naturalidad que los neum�ticos de repuesto? Que en los Pa�ses Bajos hay m�s unidades de ese veh�culo que habitantes, y que esa realidad naci� de una crisis energ�tica y de decisiones pol�ticas valientes? Que en Colombia y Kenia ese artefacto ha funcionado como el ascensor social m�s eficaz que ninguna pol�tica de desarrollo hab�a logrado construir al mismo coste? Este libro es para quien desea entender la historia real detr�s de los grandes espect�culos deportivos, en el territorio donde la pol�tica, la ciencia y la cultura se cruzan sobre el asfalto de una carretera de monta�a. Lo que parec�a un deporte es un espejo de la humanidad entera. Lo que parec�a una carrera era con frecuencia un negocio, una trampa o una declaraci�n pol�tica. Lo que parec�a un veh�culo humilde ha sido, seg�n el contexto, un arma, un s�mbolo de libertad o un instrumento de supervivencia. Para quien busca un ensayo hist�rico que se lee con el ritmo de una novela, ha encontrado exactamente lo que buscaba. El que pedalea hacia el horizonte no huye de nada, va hacia todo.• Author(s): Clear | James • Publisher: Penguin • Publisher Imprint: Penguin Random House • Subject: General Books
