Joy / Reflection about biking?

Hi guys! My boyfriend is trying to read more, and I want to surprise him with a book that he'll love. But it's niche enough that I am completely stumped.

He loves to take his bike and go around the hold and mountains, taking photos or calming down after the day. He occasionally does races, but it's more of a reflective and calming thing, and he prefers to go alone.

He's not much of a reader - it's his goal to change this, I had nothing to do with it - but right now, the only book in his apartment is The Art of War from his friend and it hasn't really sparked any joy.

Are there any recommendations or places I should look? Everything I've found has been about the maintenance of bikes or particular routes, which isn't super helpful. It's more of a the vibe and the joy of cycling that I'm looking for. No preference on non/fiction.

Last curveball (but this isn't a deal breaker) - his native language is Spanish and I'd like to find a copy in Spanish if possible.

Thank you!!!!!
