My nephew recommended this book to me as a reference book that would explain the various parts of a bicycle and their function (and malfunction.) He, who has frequently cycled 100+ miles with friends for twenty-plus years. The book was a great leg-up for me as new cyclist: well explained and diagrammed.

Great beginner friendly bike repair book, but with information for the more experienced also. I like to use books along with videos on you tube or similar internet "how to's". The combination gives me a good understanding of how to do something new.
