Customer Review: Good book for a newbie
if you know nothing about bikes and you are looking for a simple book which have some decent information about bikes here is the one .. but if you are professional rider i think this book is very basic for you.
Customer Review: Not so complete
The Complete Bike Book falls short of the book’s title. The book is lavishly illustrated with color photos on virtually every page. As an informal treatment on the subject of bicycling, it does an average job. While the book tries to cover everything from road biking to mountain biking, the information is scarce and only provides thumbnail glimpses of each topic that is covered. Most of the photographs seem rather dark and underexposed. This may be a result of the publisher not keeping an eye out on quality control. This book is rather expensive and thin. For the price of this book, you would probably do better to purchase “Richard’s 21st Century Bike Book” which does a much better job of covering bicycling.
