Book excerpt: Cycling is one of the loveliest ways of travelling, and anyone can have as much of an adventure cycling to a town twenty miles from their home as travelling to the other side of the world. Cycle Touring For Beginners will help get you out on the road on your bike, no matter your level of experience, your budget or your fitness. (You don't have to be super-fit!)The book has twin aims:The first is to encourage you to try cycle touring as soon as possible, especially if all you can manage is a weekend away. It doesn't have to be a months-long expedition on another continent; you can experience the freedom that touring by bike gives by riding away from your front door and exploring areas close to home.The second aim is to share what I have learned over the last seven years. I am a great believer in using the tools and kit that are available to you now and not waiting for perfection - and I keep repeating this point in the book - but I'd also like to help you avoid some of the more unpleasant experiences by sharing tips I've learned, so you can make it a little bit easier on yourself from the start.The book covers:Reasons to try cycle touringWhat sorts of bicycle you can use, with advice on gearing, basic maintenance and safetyFitness and staying healthy on the road: advice on eating and drinking to keep you cycling happily all day, stretching to avoid aches and pains, and the importance of caring for your skinWhere to stay, whether to travel alone or with others, and the advantages and disadvantages of having a planAdvice on tents and camping accessoriesTools and repair kits, from the minimalist puncture repair kit andCooking equipment and the importance of hygieneClothing for on and off the bike, toiletries and what to include in your first aid kitMaps, guidebooks and the importance of luxuriesWith a bike, you travel slowly enough to see everything in detail yet quickly enough to cover lots of ground. Even cycling thirty miles from where you live, using roads you don't normally take in a car, makes you see your area in a new light and turns what is familiar into an adventure. In the book I constantly encourage the reader to try with whatever equipment they have available, whether it's for a couple of nights or for a couple of months. If you think you have to ride around the world to have an adventure on a bike, this guide will put your mind to rest. With encouragement and tips on everything from how to eat to keep yourself healthy to what to bring in your tool kit, this book will have you itching to saddle up and start your own cycle touring adventure this weekend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pick the right bicycle for your travels and you'll be sure to come home with those wonderful bicycle touring memories you've been dreaming about. But pick the wrong bicycle and your trip could be over before it has even had a chance to begin. The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a short, descriptive book designed to teach you about: The features, components and characteristics that are unique to touring bicycles. The five main styles of touring bikes. The different metals used in touring bicycle frames (and why they are so important). Words and definitions you should know before purchasing a touring bicycle. The different types of touring bicycle brakes, handlebars, shifters and gears. How to find the right size bicycle for your body type. Things to look out for when purchasing a new touring bicycle. And a tip that could save you hundreds of dollars when purchasing your new bicycle touring vehicle. Written by Bicycle Touring Pro, Darren Alff, The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a book that every cyclist should read before purchasing a touring bicycle of any kind. This is a book for people who are totally new to touring bicycles - not a book for experienced bicycle riders. CONDUCT THE BICYCLE TOUR OF YOUR DREAMS The dream you are likely having involves going on a bicycle tour and having magical experiences you will remember for the rest of your life. Experiences so incredible you will tell your friends and family about them for years to come. The reality, however, might be that you never complete your bike tour, because you picked the wrong touring bicycle – a bicycle that wasn't built for the kind of bike tour you were participating in – and you were unable to return home with those magical memories you were hoping for. What many first-time bicycle tourists don't realize is that there are several different types of bicycles made for bicycle touring. There are touring bicycles made for short day trips around your home; fast, sporty touring bicycles made for racing and light touring; and an entire separate breed of touring bicycles made to carry you and your gear all the way around the world. Plus, there are bicycles made for all kinds of other types of bike rides (that aren't designed for bicycle touring at all). Let the Bicycle Touring Pro help you find your ideal touring bicycle! The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles is a book designed to teach you about the different types of touring bicycles, their various uses, and most importantly – to help you select the right bicycle for the type of bicycle tour that you wish to participate in. With The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles, you will not only learn about what to look for in your next touring bike, but you will be given access to the world's largest collection of touring bicycles (included for free with this book)– a detailed directory where you will be introduced to more than 130 different types of touring bicycles made in various countries all over the world. From this database of 130+ bicycles, the author will help you narrow down your selection and find the touring bicycle that will help to make your bicycle touring dreams come true. The Essential Guide To Touring Bicycles comes with three free digital bonus gifts (worth more than $25 USD): 1) A bonus eBook called “A Buyer's Guide To Bicycle Touring Panniers & Trailers” 2) An hour-long video recording where the author speaks at great length about touring bicycles, panniers and trailers. 3) And access to the world's largest touring bicycle database (where more than 130 touring bicycles are shown in great detail with their name, photo, product description, price and more).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyclists are everywhere, the cautionary bumper stickers tell you. More than ever before, bicycle culture is everywhere, too: from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine, city planners are making big changes to city infrastructure for the increasing numbers of people who are leaving their cars at home (or deep-sixing them altogether) and upgrading to two wheels. Biking in the city is no longer just for bike messengers with a death wish. Biking's benefits are myriad: better fitness, smaller environmental footprint, quiet and low profile, cheaper, greater accessibility. For each new, non-competitive cyclist in the consumer marketplace, there is at least one bicycle that needs to be fixed, maintained, and customized. Cyclists are looking for communities of like-minded people to learn the basics of repair and maintenance, the tricks of the trade, and get some super inspiring ideas for making their bike reflect their lifestyle choices. Quarry's The Urban Biking Handbook: The DIY Guide to Building, Rebuilding, Tinkering with, and Repairing Your Bicycle for City Living is a hardworking, illustrated guide to the cycling lifestyle. Not only does it teach tons of repair and maintenance techniques, it shows such popular skills as converting a multiple-gear bike into a fixed-gear bike (or fixie), building your own wheels, and how to build a Frankenbike from parts scavenged from several bikes. All the techniques and projects are framed by spotlights on urban bike culture worldwide: profiles of bike mechanics, bike builders, bike artists, and more.
