For new cyclists - Cyclecraft

[DLB]

As there are quite a few new riders on the forum i thought it would be worth while suggesting the book 'cyclecraft'...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyclecraft-...8703812?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1190017692&sr=8-6

if you use the roads at all to ride a bike and you haven't read the book i highly recommend it. In my opinion i'm now far safer on the roads since reading it (and it's an easy read).

Thanks for that

I've heard a lot on this, and other, forums about this book. I'll get it ordered this week.

cheers

IMO lots of experienced cyclists could also benefit from reading it.

"When jumping a red light always turn your iPod volume to its highest setting so as to avoid having to listen to the cries of foul play from the anti-RLJ Nazis."

now now, the last thing we need on this sensible thread is a RLJ non-RLJ debate.

yeah what the others say

I've done serious miles and hours in London over the years but it was still a very good read, as much for ethos and spirit as anything

lots of good tips and dos and don't too

big up to cab for boring into submission
