Book Reviews of Roadie: The Misunderstood World of a Bike Racer

Book Review: A good book for the average cyclist
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a good book to read in general but how much benifit you get out of it all depends. If you are new to cycling, know 0% about racing, or have a family member that rides, then this book is for you. If you already have a lot of time on the bike/ are fairly experianced with riding then this book is more something to read, and you probally wont get much from it.

In anycase still a good book, easy to read, and good information if you are new to cycling.
