Cyclopedia: It's All About the Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoy this book. Its one of those books that you can pic up read a little and come back to it later, it doesnt have to be read in one sitting. I seen some people saying that it was hard to read because of the color of the font. I would have to say i dont agree with this. Anyway I say this book is a MUST for any cyclist at any level.
