Complete Book of Road Cycling Skills, by Ed Pavelka and the editors of Bicycling Magazine ★★★★
Okay, I’m torturing you with a review of yet another bicycling book, also written in part by Ed Pavelka, but with a different focus, looking a road biking in general, rather than simply talking about long-distance riding. The book is divided into 8 parts, which I will not review, but each focuses on some aspects of bicycling, such as training, riding in traffic, medical problems with bicycling, etc. Each chapter was mostly 3-4 pages long, and thus easy to read in short spurts. All in all, an excellent book for somebody just starting out in the road biking world.
