This book served the purpose admirably and got me riding safe and sane on the streets of Manhattan, something I wouldn't have believed possible a couple months ago.There are sections on how to equip your bike, how to follow the rules of the road, and tips and tricks bikers need to know to coexist safely in traffic. There are also sections on what to eat and drink, how to train effectively to increase your abilities, and how to get into serious long-distance touring - things which I hadn't originally been interested in but which were fun to read about. I think what I liked best about the book was that it was clearly written by enthusiasts who've spent a lot of time riding and a lot of time thinking about how to convey their skills and enthusiasms to the public.If I had a criticism, it'd be that the book suffers by being a collection of separate magazine articles not originally intended for publication in this form, so some information is repeated and coherence is sort of loose. But it's not a major criticism and I'd recommend the book anyway. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dated, but still a fun read *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2008* 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 the suggested trainer routines, use of an heart rate monitor, and estimating calories burned.This type of book is what I call a bathroom book, as the short articles are perfect reading when you want something to read for a few minutes.The book is also a success in that it helps get you in the mood to go riding. There's not a lot new here, but it's fun to read someone elses opinion on something most of us already know how to do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great All Around for New Road Cyclist!!! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2013* Even though this may be a "old" book published about a decade ago, it still provides a wealth of information for the new cyclist. As a new cyclist who started getting serious about cycling, this book has proved valuable as I read through it introducing me to terms that I was not familiar with, even though I have had over a decade of mountain biking experience. This even starts from how to pick a bike that fits to how to ride in a group, and technique a beginner can work on. I highly recommend pick this up used for it can be found for an extremely low price. This is definitely worth a read if you don't know much specifics about road cycling and some of the etiquette of riding. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9012382-bicycling-magazines-complete-book-of-road-cycling-skills-your-guide](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/9012382-bicycling-magazines-complete-book-of-road-cycling-skills-your-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
