Cycling Info for Everyone,

This review is from: The Hubbub Guide to Cycling (Spiral-bound)
This is a book everyone who has ever thought about bicycling should read. It's written in an easy-to-read conversational style, and includes basic information every beginner should know as well as tidbits even seasoned cyclists may not have heard. The list of resources in the back is also useful, for information not directly in the book. Whether you're planning a spin around the block or a trek across the continent, The HubBub Guide To Cycling is for you!

Informative AND Entertaining,

This review is from: The Hubbub Guide to Cycling (Spiral-bound)
What a wonderfully light style of making cycling sound like it is, fun! Nearly every aspect of recreational riding is discussed from purchasing appropriate equipment to getting (and staying) comfortable on the bike to packing for a tour. This book does not belong on a shelf - it rests on my coffee table!

Flawed Execution,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hubbub Guide to Cycling (Spiral-bound)
As with many, I picked up this book based on a recommendation by the bike tour company 'Backroads'.While the book has enough information to be useful to a BEGINNER cyclist (which basically I am) it has one annoying problem. The book is printed on 'watermarked' paper. To explain further....take a look at the book cover picture posted on Amazon's site. Do you see the grey background graphics of bicycles and the branding for HUBBUB?; well, that is the background that EVERY page in the book is printed on! Reading black that is printed over a busy and relatively dark watermarked background is a chore and, at least to me, extremely annoying. It was difficult for me to do much more than skim this book. For the BEGINNER cyclist taking a bike vacation, the material is likely 4 star (as much as I read), but the execution more than deserves an overall rating of 2 stars.
