If I've missed anyone's earlier contribution - apologies - post here and I'll
correct the error. If you have any further contributions then do add them
here. I was wondering if we should also include some of the larger websites
e,g, www.bikereader.com, www.crazyguyonabike.com, Lands End to JOG
www.users.waitrose.com/~ianclare/links.htm etc etc?

Finally, what to do with the list? Update and post here periodically? Every
couple of months? Put the list on a website and just post the link here
occasionally?

All contributions and ideas welcome.

ok, thanks for the contributions and suggestions. Here's a
consolidated list of the books and I've used three headings;

Touring and General Cycling,
Racing,
Reference and Training.

There is a fourth section for the website links.

May I suggest adding Daniel Behrman's "The Man Who Loved Bicycles,
the Memoirs of an Autophobe" under general, especially because I
would like to nominate it as the best bike book ever written. It's
out of print, but it can be found - yes, the whole book - on
www.bikereader.com

Seconded - in fact I've got a copy and am now wondering how I left it
out of my list.

Had three cycling books for Christmas - two are already on Nige's list,
but one isn't:

Kathy Hindle and Lee Irvine, A Thorough Good Fellow - The story of Dan
Albone, inventor & cyclist.
