4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to cycling, 8 April 2009
By Simon J. Lewis (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having got into cycling last year, I bought this book for some general tips on how to improve and things to be aware of. It fit the bill perfectly. It was informative and easy to understand without being patronising. I have certainly improved after reading it and I've now lent it out to other cycling friends who also love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars cool, 23 Oct 2006
By Mr. N. J. Webb "webbhost" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well im only just getting into this book, not really had the chance to get properly into it, but i was given good recommendations from other cyclers. After reading the first chapter, i think its going to be an excellent source to helping me, but the best bit about this book is unlike alot of books like this one, it keeps you interested because it has humour in the book too.

You will not get bored of reading this book!
