The Art of Cycling: A Guide to Bicycling in 21st-Century America
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-05 Summary: A good intro for big city cyclists, but by no means comprehensive ... I want to start my review by saying that I cycle about 3000-4000 miles a year, mostly commuting and a little touring, and most of this in a city of about 50,000 people in Indiana, and in outlying rural areas and small towns. (I live about 5 or 6 miles from the city, in the country). The original title that this book was published under, The Art of Urban Cycling, should probably have been kept, as I originally thought that this book was going to be an overview of all kinds of cycling. However, Hurst is writing primarily ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-11 Summary: Entertaining reading for the suburban rider, too! ... I find the content of this book to be very entertaining, and eye opening as I am a suburban/rural rider, not an urban cyclist. The organization also allows for me to review and follow other's comments on particular sections. So I've read ahead based on reviews at times. All in all a fascinating book for the active cyclist. The only omission is one often overlooked by bicyclists: growth in the electric assist cycling. Not as an intrusion to purists who bike without auxiliary power, but as a practical extension for the ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Covering much more than just riding a bike in traffic, author Robert Hurst paints, in uncanny detail, the challenges, strategies, and art of riding a bike on America's modern streets and roadways. The Art of Cycling dismantles the bicycling experience and slides it under the microscope, piece by piece. Its primary concern is safety, but this book goes well beyond the usual tips and how-to, diving in to the realms of history, psychology, sociology, and economics. It empowers readers with...more

Cycling's 50 Craziest Stories
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-30 Summary: Delightful cycling morsels... ... This is a collection of quirky, anecdotal short stories about competitive road cycling, written by someone who has toiled as a racer as well as a writer. Les Woodland's writing style has a Nelson Algren/Studs Terkel feel, and you find yourself slowing down to savor every word. These are generally little tales about obscure people in and around the sport of cycling, and Les has a talent for making them entertaining and memorable in his two to four page stories. Many, if not most, of the stories are absurdly funny. My ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-20 Summary: A Ride on the Wild Side of Cycling ... In a sport where professional riders often take themselves way too seriously, it is refreshing to get a glimpse now and then of some of their funny or even strange sides, and this book doesn't disappoint. While there may be a couple of stories in the book that you've heard before, most of them will be new even to serious students of cycling history, since this book is, for the most part, NOT a retelling of tales we've all heard over and over again. Woodland, who's lived on The Continent since about 1970, put a lot ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Professional cycling has been around for more than 100 years, more than enough time for nearly anything imaginable to have happened. Whether it's the Tour de France racer who thought the worst thing that could happen to him was being forced to wear the Yellow Jersey, or the communist team director who insisted, on a whim, that a rider have a toe amputated or the fit of jealousy that started the Giro d'Italia, the sport has an endless supply of examples of human folly. Les Woodland has...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-01-02 Summary: Easy reading collection of articles ... As another reviewer pointed out, this is a colleciton of articles that don't make one continous book. I look at it as more of a manual. I didn't read it in order, but just went through the chapters that I thought were relevant and returned for the others later. I am pretty new to cycling (beyond riding my bike as a kid). Although I was not impressed with the review of fast food burritos, I did find much of the information to be useful and encouraging. It is a primer. You'll probably want to move on to other cycling ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-02-13 Summary: Dated, but still a fun read ... I'm an experienced cyclist and I found this a fun read. It's a collection of articles that were published in Bicycling magazine back in the 90's on various aspects on road cycling. There are sections on skills, training and nutrition and I found useful information throughout the book. I feel that the articles were chosen to have a timeless slant as there aren't many examples on equipment, most of the articles are on technique. Specifically I found the few articles on training that included examples to be helpful, like ...more
