Describes proper equipment and clothing, the health benefits of cycling, proper nutrition, cycling during and after pregnancy, basic maintenance, and training for racing, touring, and long-distance riding
I read this book as more of "A n00b's guide to cycling". It was a wonderful introduction to the basics of a bike, different kinds of bikes, accessories, safety, repair, and numerous other great tips. If you don't know anything about bikes but want to get started, I recommend it whether you're a man or woman!
