The Road Cyclist's Companion

All sports have their quirks and rituals, but cycling has more than most. As the inexorable rise of the bicycle continues, many casual cyclists are moving into a more serious brand of cycling—riding in road races, groups, or cycle clubs. This transition often leads them to stumble straight into a minefield of form and etiquette that those who have grown up in the clubs are well acquainted with.

From how to choose the right bike frame to the rules of cycling in a paceline, there are things that any serious cyclist should know. Covering kit, bike, group riding, technique, and training, The Road Cyclist's Companion is a beautifully presented book that is essential for anyone looking to step up their cycling ambitions.
