Motivating with excellent tips for riders in their first couple thousand miles. The book will help keep others from making mistakes or learning the hard way.
We read this for book club. I thought it was a good one and inspiring. Biking is a great way to lose weight. The author has other things to say too as he is an English professor.
I enjoyed this book. Humorous, insightful account of 'doing a 180'.
