It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life by Lance Armstrong is a sports memoir tracing his early life, rise as a professional cyclist and battle with testicular cancer at the age of 25. Armstrong describes his development as an athlete alongside the experience of being diagnosed with advanced cancer and undergoing treatment.
