Cycling Australia is proud to announce the release of a stunning photographic tribute to 25 years of road and track cycling in Australia.

'Revolution' has been put together by Cycling Australia's official photographer, John Veage and captures the blood, sweat, tears and triumphs of some of Australia's best loved events and cyclists in a high quality 170-page full colour publication.

Rain or shine 'Veagey' has been there to snap the moment. He's climbed trees, perched on ladders, sat pillion on a motorbike for hours, lay in the mud on the ground and hiked into sand dunes to get the perfect shot. At the track he's taken a shot of every single rider through endless rounds of qualifying and finals at Championships.

His dedication, commitment and professionalism have never waned and Cycling Australia is pleased to collaborate with him on his unique snapshot of a quarter of a century of cycling in Australia.

Australian cycling legend Brad McGee OAM wrote the foreward for the book he describes as:

'An amazing assortment to bookend the previous couple of decades ..... a perfect coffee table piece that amasses a vast array of fabulous images. Much of Australian cycling's modern history is portrayed here in these pages with sweeping memories of a beloved sport.'
