  This guide begins with choosing the right bike - from trainer bikes for toddlers, touring bikes for the recreational cyclists to the latest in hi-tech for the professional competitor. There is also guidance on choosing other equipment, safety helmets and protective clothing. There is also a detailed section outlining how to maintain and repair bikes with detailed step-by-step illustrations. Other chapters focus on the different kinds of cycling - recreational, racing, touring and track, with stories from some of the world's best-known cyclists. There is also a special section on cycling routes in each capital city of Australia, plus maps showing the major touring events (Australian edition only).
