 Really great, thoughtful book August 7, 2007

Alternates between being inspirational and educational. Plan to get it for my biking friends when they hit 40 or 50. Lots of useful information and a good read.
Nice book July 24, 2007
Right now I have half-read this book and I would like to say that I enjoy it very much. Since I have been a MTB enthusiast for years already this book is right for me. The reason why I like this book are topics covered and the unique approach how authors address them. For example, typically you can read about how to train for better bike riding, but here you will find a topic on how to train to recover from biking. And there are more unique topics and interesting interviews.
This definitely shouldn't be the first book that bicycle addict should read, however for a seasoned rider this book is a "must read".
This is an Excellent Book June 27, 2007

As a devoted cyclist, I found this book to be a valuable resource. I learned much about the best ways to ride, how to eat properly, make sure that you get the proper fit on a bike, and much more information. One slight criticism - it is too slanted toward mountain biking rather than touring, but that reflects the interests of the authors. This book is a real keeper.
Great Cycling Book April 4, 2007
I really enjoyed this book. It presented many cycling topics: general fitness, longevity, training, psychological aspects of the sport, and touring. I especially enjoyed the inspirational interviews like the one with a guy who raced bikes in the '20s, represented the USA in the '32 and '36 Olympics, and now in his 90s, he STILL rides 150 miles a week!
Great book.
Fantastic Book on Cycling can change your life! February 26, 2007

I ran across this book completely by accident. I was in the bookstore perusing magazines and someone had left a copy on the rack. I picked it up, flipped briefly through the book, and decided to buy it. For a 49 year old that's just getting back into cycling after being off since the early 90's, this was a terrific book. It provides relevent information for every aspect (both mental and physical) of developing a plan for lifelong health and well being through bicycling and other exercise. I think the interviews are great and provide insight into the lives of some of cycling's pioneers and gives a glimpse of what we all deal with as we age. The information in this book can change your quality of life, if practically applied. 35 days after completing this book, I'm 11 lbs lighter and feel so much better!
