Rouleur
Rouleur Le Metier: Le Métier is a collaboration between Michael and Rouleur photographer Camille J McMillan. It's an honest and sometimes touching look into the life, the trials and the tribulations as well as the triumphs, of a cycling domestique. Following on from his 2005 debut "Inside the Postal Bus", a sideways view at life as a team-mate of Lance Armstrong on the U.S Postal team, and "Fitness Cycling", a cycling training guide collaboration with Dede Demet Barry and Shannon Sovndal, Team Sky's Michael Barry now casts his net to the wider world of professional cycling in a brand new book Le Métier. As a professional cyclist Barry has lived the dream that many an aspiring racer covets - worldwide travel in the heady atmosphere of professional bike racing and all that it brings. Michael is also a pro-cycling rarity in that he has an immense talent for writing and it is the coupling of these two aspects of his life that are now captivating readers of his books and print and online columns. His poignant prose, which has also been featured in the New York Times, along with Camille's atmospheric photography create a volume that gives the reader a rare glance into the fascinating and occasionally strange world of professional cycling. Author: Michael Barry Photography: Camille J McMillan Publication date: April 2010 Hardback 204 Pages

Rouleur Cycling Magazine - Issue 21 Books Rouleur Rouleur Cycling Magazine - Issue 21: The 21st issue of Rouleur takes the focus off bike and directs it at the riders, with features on Michael Rasmussen, Flecha, Brian Robinson and more. Michael Barry takes a break from riding for Team Sky to pen an essay on teammate Juan Antonio Flecha, one of the peloton's most widely respected and likable characters, while Timm Kölln trains his lens on both author and subject. Rouleur Editor Guy Andrews lays his shirt on the Grand Prix Final at the Tachikawa Velodrome in his second instalment of the fascinating - and wealthy - world of Japanese keirin racing. Taz Darling's photographs are winners. Guy lost everything. Graeme Fife celebrates the recent 80th birthday of one of the great British cyclists and his win in the 1961 Dauphiné Libéré in an extract from the newly published book Brian Robinson - Pioneer. Geoff Waugh delivers some superb portraiture. Fife also sits down with German sprinter Danilo Hondo to paint a revealing portrait of a young rider's life behind the Iron Curtain alongside Jan Ullrich before turning professional. Sofie Andersen breathes a sigh of relief now that Timm Kölln's The Peloton is published and considers what drives a man to undertake such a gargantuan project in Le Temps Perdu. Herbie Sykes takes on two very differing subjects. In the third installment of Jan Hirt, our young Czech hopeful looks to be on his way home after a season of struggle in Italy. Michael Rasmussen, meanwhile, appears in the Danish equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing in a surreal twist to the story of a troubled man trying to break back into the cycling world. Ben Ingham photographs both stories with aplomb.
