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 Jeremy Parker |

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. -- Andrew |
