PRESS RELEASE
Steve Peat Biography Coming in October, 2021
Former UCI Downhill World Champion Steve Peat has signed a book deal with Sheffield publisher Vertebrate. The book, Steve Peat: A biography, will tell the extraordinary story of Peat's journey from plumbing to podiums as an elite mountain biker, competing at the highest level all over the world.
Peat said, ‘Writing this book will be a great experience and a huge memory jogger for myself, when I sit and chat about different stories, all kinds of fun things spring to mind. I feel very lucky to have found mountain biking and I am excited to share my ups and down with you guys. I feel I have always tried to be honest and approachable and I hope we can get this across in the book, along with all the fun stuff.’
In 2016, Peat raced his last UCI Downhill World Cup but he continues to race local and selected enduro events. In 1998, he founded Royal Racing, a clothing manufacturer of race kits for cyclists through which he helps young riders achieve their goals. He has worked as a brand ambassador for Santa Cruz Syndicate since 2006 and, more recently, started Peaty’s Products, manufacturing innovative, high quality bike components. Over the years he has taken part in various charity events raising money for cancer and, through the Steel City Downhill race, he’s also raised money for The Sheffield Wildlife Trust, to support mountain bike projects around Sheffield.
Steve Peat: A Biography will be published in October 2021.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've always been interested in the stories of great people and how they overcame adversity to succeed. One of those who constantly inspired me was Benjamin Franklin and his commitment to values such as honesty, industry, and frugality, which are still relevant today. As a student, I first read his autobiography and recently brushed it up in my head thanks to https://freebooksummary.com/category/the-autobiography-of-benjamin-franklin because it is an incredibly insightful, thought-provoking read. This book offers a unique glimpse into the life of one of America's most prominent founding fathers. It also provides valuable lessons on personal growth and self-improvement that I believe are relevant to anyone seeking to better themselves.
