' The truth is that internally there was nothing majestic or glorious in what I was doing. I was angry at cancer. I was angry it picked on me. That' s what drove me, every single pedal stroke. I was furious. It' s all about what you can' t do. You shouldn' t do this and you won' t ever be able to do that. I didn' t want any part of that game. ' In 95% Dead, cycling world record holder, charity ambassador and fundraiser James Golding reflects on near death, the extremes of his discipline and the true purpose of life. Originally a hedonistic, materialistic BMXer, Golding' s life was changed by diagnosis with a huge 11. 5cm tumour at the age of 27. Unlikely survival led to a new perspective and, with it, a focus on one of the most physically demanding sports of all. Spending up to 14 hours a day in the saddle, racing across continents, Golding is now an elite ultra-endurance cyclist. Laced with humour and insight, Golding' s sporting philosophy is simple. ' Why would I fear death on a bike? ' he asks. ' I already died in a bed. '
