Bicycle Touring Made Easy

You can really get a sense of the joy one feels while riding a bike from this book. The author has combined how-to information with enough storytelling to make it an inspiration to anyone wishing to ride. The author includes important, yet understandable information for the neophyte rider and pointers for even the veteran tourer. Even if you are not planning a tour, per se, the book is great for people interested in getting into riding just for fun. Much less technical than most racing books out there, this is a great book for anyone wishing to start riding or start touring.
