"Shields carefully walks the line on the [doping] topic, building up a scenario where the reader can almost empathize with an athlete’s decision to cheat."
"Dave’s new book, The Tour: A Novel, fills out the adventure he began in The Race perfectly. Along the way he educates readers on performance enhancing drugs. It’s a topic deserving of close inspection, and this book is a big step in the right direction."
-- Marty Jemison 1999 US Pro Cycling Champion & 2-time Tour de France Finisher
"Dave's books will pump you for cycling."
-- Mark Victor Hanson, mega best-selling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and many more inspirational books

Thanks, Daily Peloton!
The first media outlet to understand my vision for these cycling novels was The Daily Peloton. As a result of their support so many other pieces have fallen into place. I can't adequately express my gratitude for all they have done to help spread the word. Thanks for believing in me and giving me my big break! Here is a listing of the articles DP has run over the years:
Saul Raisin bracelets are $3. They say "Raisin Hope" on the Green side and "Celebration of Life" on the white side.
100% of bracelet proceeds go to the Raisin Hope Fund for brain and spinal cord injuries.
Support the Daily Peloton. Buy Dave Shields books through this Web page and a portion of the proceeds go to supporting the Daily Peloton.
Dave will sign your jersey (no charge) if you click above.

Hincapie jerseys pack many advanced features into one attractive, versatile garment. They are fully sublimated with high-tech inks. Hincapie Quadretto™ fabric, with SmartDry technology, keeps you cool and dry, while the unique unidirectional stretch properties of the material provide an exceptional fit. The special Sun Smart fiber construction provides a 30+ Ultraviolet Protection Factor to help protect the skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation. The exclusive Hincapie Gel-Grip™ waist keeps the jersey in place and prevents it from riding up in the back for superior comfort. Add a three-quarter length front zipper, comfort-collar and three roomy back pockets and you have a jersey equally at home in the pro peloton or a local group ride.
Jerseys are $89.99 a piece. Shipping is free in the US and deeply discounted worldwide.
Readers often ask us if Banque Fédérale jerseys are available. We've wanted to create them for a long time, but it wasn't until Hincapie Sports offered to partner with us that the project made sense. After all, a pro replica jersey must be a first class garment.
If you'd like to get in on our next print run place your order as soon as possible. Jerseys ordered now will be delivered in March.
