  This is the definitive guide to choosing, buying and owning a bicycle, also containing sections on riding in traffic, cross-country, competition, the history and politics of cycling - and beyond. The latter part of the book is devoted to maintenance and repair, written in immensely clear language which encourages even the rankest amateur to pick up a spanner!Ballantine's prose always sparkles with true enthusiasm, and he is never pedantic. The book is illustrated throughout with clear line drawings.
