Editorial Reviews
Review
"...should be with every bike rider's arsenel...simplest and best guide to everything from fixing a flat to seats & brakes." -- Food Industry News, August 2008
"Chapters explain, with humor and candor...clear instructions guiding even beginners through their first flat tire or brake pad replacement." -- Foreword Magazine, May/June 2008
Product Description
Sam Tracy, a radical-minded bike aficionado with a 90-pound toolbox, distills his breadth of knowledge into this handy, pocket-sized repair credo, organized by the major bike components-wheels, seats, stem/handlebars, brakes, and drivetrains. With the mindset of a stranded rider, Tracy efficiently chases down the sources of mechanical woes and describes how best to tackle these repairs in a time-conscious fashion to get riders speedily back up on their bikes. Those planning longer journeys are encouraged to peruse this guide prior to departure both to understand the range of potential repair scenarios and ensure that all the right tools make it into the repair kit. With Roadside Bicycle Repair, Tracy talks repair first, bike politics second-though there's always room for a little social agenda. This is the book for bicyclists on the move.
