Le vélo m'a sauvé, a new paperback edition of Kilian Bron's memoir, has been released by Flammarion as part of the Au grand jour collection. The book, which was first published in hardcover in 2025, is prefaced by Martin Fourcade, a renowned French athlete known for his success in biathlon. In the memoir, Bron, a 33-year-old professional mountain biker and videographer, reflects on how mountain biking became a crucial part of his life, offering him both freedom and structure during a challenging time in his adolescence. Bron grew up in Bourg-Saint-Maurice, a town in the French Alps, where he discovered mountain biking. The Malgovert forest and the pistes of Les Arcs became his first places of escape and exploration. He describes how the sport helped him navigate through a difficult family environment, giving him a sense of purpose and discipline. Rather than seeing himself as a "daredevil," Bron emphasizes the careful preparation and skill that mountain biking requires, highlighting how his relationship with risk evolved over time. Throughout his career, Bron has used mountain biking not only as a sport but also as a way to explore the world and tell compelling stories. His films and travels often focus on the landscapes and cultures he encounters, using the bike as a means of storytelling. His unique approach to mountain biking has earned him recognition as one of the most creative and innovative figures in the field, particularly in the areas of filming and piloting. The paperback edition of Le vélo m'a sauvé brings Bron’s personal journey and reflections to a wider audience. Available in the Au grand jour collection, the book offers readers an intimate look at how mountain biking shaped Bron’s identity and helped him overcome personal challenges. It serves as both an inspiration and a testament to the transformative power of sports and adventure.
