La route est droite mais la pente est forte......

A single-issue comic from France's Le Cycliste imprint, La route est droite mais la pente est forte... (2007) is a self-contained meditation on cycling. The title translates to "The road is straight but the slope is steep," capturing the tension between a clear path and an arduous climb. This debut issue stands alone, a quiet, focused work that explores the physical and mental demands of the sport.
