I'm Felix Lowe – a freelance journalist, author, copywriter and translator specialising in cycling, travel, entertainment and lifestyle. My first book, Climbs and Punishment: Riding to Rome in the Footsteps of Hannibal, was published in June 2014 by Bantam Press and was shortlisted for the Cross British Sports Book Awards. Best known for my Last Gasp column in Cyclist magazine or the long-standing Eurosport blog, Blazin' Saddles, I also write Eurosport’s historical Re-Cycle series of in-depth features. All four seasons (51 episodes) have also been turned into a critically acclaimed podcast. I am currently editing my debut novel, Provenance, a comedy art-heist thriller, as well as translating Fantaisies Quantiques - a sweeping history of quantum theory through the prism of the world-famous Solvay Conferences - into English. Another translation project is the ongoing Essential Stories series for Eurosport, 10 parts of which were turned into a special Olympic Essential Stories podcast for Tokyo 2021.
