Bikes are becoming an ever-more vital part of daily life for people of
all ages. Laura Robinson combines fascinating history (the first bike
was propelled by the rider's feet pushing against the ground) with
useful and fun information, including tips for the way to dress for safe
and efficient biking; what to eat for maximum body efficiency; and how
to select and maintain a bike.
The book features riding superstars like Lance Armstrong as well as the
kids from Chippewas of Nawash First Nations, whose mountain bike team is
coached by Robinson.
Detailed diagrams and charts of different types of bikes, tire treads,
and even road signs, along with bios of famous cyclists throughout
history make this lively book the perfect resource for both dedicated
riders and first-time cyclists.
