SYNOPSIS: Today's fastest-growing form of personal transport for work, sport and leisure is bicycle-riding. Its delights are varied, and range from mechanical interest and speedmania to the health-improving quality of a pleasant fresh-air exercise. And the revived popularity of the two-wheeler is boosted by bicyclists' knowing that they make a positive contribution to lessening pollution on the roads. This book gives expert and decisive advice on how to choose the right machine for oneself out of the variety of models, makes and types from the USA, Britain, Europe and Japan. Likewise among the available accessories and garments. The latest innovations, such as 15-spead gears, are considered. There is a basic guide for beginners (which includes the mature but rusty rider), followed by a maintenance and repair section with explanatory diagrams. A summary of progress from the toy-like hobby-horse to the finely-engineered thoroughbred machines of the 1970s is illustrated with fascinating early photographs and advertisements. Sound and encouraging advice on touring is given, and racing in all its forms is covered. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ken Lewis (Diagrams) (ilustrador).…
