    Biking for real bicyclists!

    Why ride a bike that doesn’t make sense for you? Why dress up in ridiculous advertising just so you can ride? Bicycling was fun when you were a kid, it’s still should be now! I was already on with his basics, ordered the book along with parts to turn a classic mt bike to a Tourer. After reading the book and riding the changed bike, I’m a convert. Really enjoying riding for the fun of just riding!

    A must read for every normal cyclist out there!

    Excellent book that makes great sense. Grant really points out how simple riding a bike can be but you would never get that idea going into a bike shop! His style of writing is whitty and easy to read. Bottom line it all makes sense and should be read by every normal bike rider out there. Thanks Grant

    Perhaps the piece ever written about practic cycling.

    The title really says it all. The imfluence of racing has damaged cycling of all sorts and Grant puts the corrct spin on it all.
