Could it have been Olympic dream, by Matt Christopher? He writes a whole lot of sports fiction.

>Lumpy and unathletic, 14-year-old Doug Cannon is faced with summer vacation and--after the video arcade burns down--nowhere to hang out. Somewhat reluctantly, he begins to help the local organization of "Rails to Trails" convert an abandoned rail bed into a bike path. A medical student and near Olympic-caliber cyclist encourages Doug to take up cycling; by the end of October, he's gotten into shape and wins a race. Christopher does a good job of presenting the main character's early self-consciousness and eventual pride and confidence.
