Subtitled, "Reminiscences of a Roving Wheelman", the book is a mine of social history and amusing anecdotes, written in a flowery style with considerable humour. This radio version has the framwork of a CBC Radio sports commentary on Kron's greatest cycling achievement: a ride through southern Ontario from London to Mitchell via Exeter, Goderich, Holmesville and Clinton. CBC sports commentator Larry Afghan (Les Stoodley) describes the ride and interviews Kron (Colin Fox), who recalls other Canadian rides. <55mn>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
