I’ve reviewed a few books published by Vertebrate Publishing and been impressed by all of them. This one’s a guide to cycling as a whole which seems an ambitious idea! This isn’t a personal review, mainly as I’ve cycled forever and the book is more aimed at those new to cycling – someone who may be deciding which branch of the sport will suit them best or who wants a guide to getting the most out of their riding. So the rest of this post is mostly from Vertebrate’s write up of the book. I’ve had a look through a copy and it’s really comprehensive and well written. You’ll know if it’s for you, but I’m drawing attention to it because I’ve always been impressed with their books.
