Very Good, Very British
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a fine book--much stronger than the similar one published by Bicycling magazine. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to regularly bike 25 miles or more.The best part of the book is it is so comprehensive and logical. Everything is covered from equipment to saddle sores. The only downside is that this is so clearly an American English translation from the British original. Keep in mind the famous quote about Americans and the English being "two peoples separated by a common language" and you will do fine, and learn a great deal from this book.
