Bike Tripping

by Tom Cuthbertson

This is a book about how to have good trips on a bike. It can help you get into any facet of the cycling experience that might interest you, from cross country racing to urban commuting, from short “escape” trips around your neighborhood to long tours through the open countryside.Many people are thinking about and talking about the cycling trip these days, not only because they are attracted by the sport itself, but also because they are getting turned off by other trips which have had their day and gone sour.So the idea is first to help you minimize the problems of cycling, and second to introduce you to the many variegated good trips that can be had on bikes, trips that can not only keep you healthy and smog free, but also give you a new source of fun.Ride out to the country. Expand your consciousness a little, and turn on to good old Mother Nature, before she starts turning on us.1) Learning to Ride2) Which bike for you3) Safety and the Safe Bike4) Hassle-less town cycling5) Hassle-less country cycling6) Transporting you and your bike7) Tips for happy tripping8) Getting on with the elements9) Local bike trips10) Short country escape trips11) Tour trips12) The road racing trip13) Bike trips for the fanatic fringe14) The frame
