Anyone have recommended reading or favorite books for new bicyclists? Are you looking for something on training, bike repair, travel stories, racing stories?  |

All of the above  Went to Barnes and Noble yesterday, and the selection in the cycling section was minimal. |

I think bike shops would be a better place to look.

I always recommend the "Zinn and the Art of (Road Bike Maintenance, Mountain Bike Maintenance)" books. Pretty simple adjustment explanations.
They usually have them at B&N, Borders, etc, as well as Amazon.

Thx!
The Spike Bike series is pretty good for figuring out how to accessorize: http://linux.stevens-tech.edu/kmh/spike.bike.all.txtAnd +1 on the Zinn books for "How To" on keeping yours running happily. |

Sure...I'll contribute my rides... My DH rig is a Banshee Scream, the thing's a beast:  As we get lighter, I've got a all mountain setup, i.e. Santa Cruz Heckler:  And the polar opposite of the first two, a Colnago C-40:  Unfortunately, I have not yet added a gasoline powered unit to my stable, but I'm workin' on it. |

I took a bumble bee to the back of the throat yesterday at 40mph.  OUCH! Things to remember: Keep mouth shut when going fast. |
