1.0 out of 5 stars very little information, July 4, 2005

This review is from: Bicycle Touring Made Easy (Paperback)

This book was a major dissapointment. It does offer common sense suggestions. For example, if you would like to find bike paths, go to the chamber of commerce, where they might have maps or information. Or, if you are looking for riding partners, check your local bike shop. However, it is thin on concrete information. Although I'm new to touring, I learned very little. Ithen read RA Lovett's, "The Essential Touring Cyclist," which is INFINITELY better than this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bicycle Touring Made Easy, April 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bicycle Touring Made Easy (Paperback)

You can really get a sense of the joy one feels while riding a bike from this book. The author has combined how-to information with enough storytelling to make it an inspiration to anyone wishing to ride. The author includes important, yet understandable information for the neophyte rider and pointers for even the veteran tourer. Even if you are not planning a tour, per se, the book is great for people interested in getting into riding just for fun. Much less technical than most racing books out there, this is a great book for anyone wishing to start riding or start touring.

Bicycle Touring Made Easy by recreational bicycling enthusiast Lise Krieger (her first major bike trip was a 1200-mile trek from Victoria, British Columbia to San Francisco, California) is a simple, highly practical guide for cross-country cyclists of all experience levels. Black-and-white photographs illustrate step-by-step instructions on countless useful skills such as how to change a bicycle chain, how to train one's endurance without overtaxing oneself, techniques for safe bike riding in traffic and much more. Especially recommended for beginners, Bicycling Touring Made Easy has a great deal of value to offer avid and experienced cyclists everywhere.
