You never forget how to ride a bike . . . but do you know how to get a great deal on a used bike (and avoid getting ripped off!), set up your commuter bike for optimal safety (without sacrificing fun), plan the perfect family ride for kids of all ages, and train for your first endurance ride? Bicycle Times magazine reaches hundreds of thousands of "everyday cyclists"--riders who care more about having a great ride than spending a year's salary on a tricked-out racing bike. Their mission is to make cycling fun and accessible for everyone . . . families, commuters, travelers, and weekend warriors included.
This book is the one practical manual every cyclist should have--right next to the toolbox or stashed in a pannier. A quick but comprehensive intro chapter on finding the right bike for every need (and why so many cyclists are sure they need one of each!), which includes detailed information on what to look for in a new or used bike, when to pay a little more for components, and where you can economize creatively.
Filled with practical, wheels-on-the-ground tips, this book will make you a better rider, take you places you never thought you'd go, and make sure you never get stranded by the roadside without the tools or know-how to fix your ride.
