Harry Cotterpin Series

Possibly the most famous book series of the moment and now a popular and successful film series.

The story centres around Harry Cotterpin, an orphan after his parents were killed by the evil Lord Voldemoulton in his transit van. Harry survived, with only a scar on his forehead telling of the ordeal, a letter 'G' where his helmet embossed itself on him.

Harry is raised by his nasty aunt and uncle who lock him in cupboard and force him to read What Car? and articles in the Sun by Jeremy Clarkson.

However Harry finds out he is really a cyclist when he is taken to live at Cogwarts School. Here he learns amazing things with his two friends Hermione Grifter and Ron Pashley, all the while fighting against the evil Lord Voldemoulton who wants Harry to pay him for the excess on his insurance he had to pay after killing Harry's parents.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Dawes Galaxy

A sci-fi comedy with cycling. Who would have ever thought it would work.

Arthur Dented Top Tube has his world turned upside down when he finds out his planet is about to be destroyed by an alien race of ugly bureaucrats called the Moultons and that his friend isn't really an out of work actor but also an alien taking part in a cross-universe audax on a Dawes Galaxy.

The two escape the doomed planet by riding onto on of the Moultons' ships where they are immediately siezed as being subversives for having a bicycle that is the correct size and shape.

Followed up by The Restaurant at the End of the Ride; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long and Thanks for the Wheel Dish; and Moulton Harmless.

And now for something completely different....

It's a book, about cycling. Who would have thought (more next month).
