Product Description

Review

Cooke's book is just as relevant to beginners as it is to those with loftier ambitions. This glossy little manual could replace a gym membership as the best way to get fit in the new year. --The Times

If you want to take up cycling, Cycle for Life has all the info you need. --Women's Fitness

Product Description

Cycling is a sport, a mode of transport and a social recreational activity. For some, it is a way of life. Have you ever wondered why there are so many addicts? Have you ever wanted to get involved, but wondered where to start? Maybe you're a novice, keen to get more for your bike, or you might be an improver, comfortable on the saddle but unsure how to take it to the next level. Nicole Cooke, the world's current Number One women's cyclist, will offer her expert advice on everything you need, including equipment and maintenance, safe road cycling, training and stretching, how to introduce personal goals and refine your riding style at a more accomplished level. She will take the terror out of taking to the roads, and have you riding confidently, and safely in no time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cycle for Life - what it says on the cover, 14 Dec 2008

By	cycle ride twelve (UK) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent book that more than lives up to the product description. It is suitable for the novice contemplating the commute to work, right through to the moderately experienced cyclist. As the later, I found those elements relating to diet particularly helpful. It was also interesting to see the elements of training and cross training laid out in a way suitable for those of us trying to fit training around a busy work life. It is excellently produced, with many attractive and well placed pictures. It would make an excellent present for someone who is thinking of taking up cycling as a pastime, whether that be on a recreational or sporting basis.

It certainly is not an autobiography, but then it did not say that on the cover !

5.0 out of 5 stars easy reading and helpful tips, 9 Feb 2009

By	A. Dodds "Allen" (Paisley, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book mainly to help put more hours in the saddle. This year I am taking part in several Sportive rides. I needed a guide to increase my time from my daily commute, to several hours at one time.

There is a great deal of information for the novice cyclist, for those with more cycling experience the most important chapter is the 8 week workouts. Taking you from 4 hours a week cycling in the first plan, through to several hours at a time in the final plan.

I found the advice, laid out in laymans terms and thoroughly enjoyed the read. If your goal is to begin cycling or transition to the next level this is worth the buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book, very informative, well written and helpful, 14 Jan 2009

By	Mark Williams (Royal Leamington Spa , England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didn't know how much help this book was going to be when I first got it, but I have to say I think it is a brilliant book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I've been cycling for about 5 years now, but wanted to improve my skills and participate in some Sportives and Time Trials. I found the information Nicole gave in this book a great help, I especially found the part on diet interesting.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is just starting out in the world of cycling or looking to advance their skills.
