Description	It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life is a 2000 autobiographical book by American cyclist Lance Armstrong with Sally Jenkins.The book was written shortly after Armstrong had won the 1999 Tour de France: he went on to win it six further times in successive years, establishing a record (later revoked due to his use of performance enhancing drugs). In 1996, he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs, abdomen and brain, and was only given a 40 percent chance of living.

In light of the revelations made by the USADA investigation in 2012, the passages about doping in the book are doubtful.The book covers his story from childhood to the 1999 Tour, and the birth of his first child.Books:It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life by Lance Armstrong (English). Barnes & Noble. Retrieved on 2008-01-30. A subsequent autobiographical instalment, entitled Every Second Counts and also with Sally Jenkins as co-author, continued the narrative until his 2003 Tour victory.
