Book Reviews of The Recumbent Bicycle

Book Review: Everything you need to know about Bents
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this as an after-thought having just bought a 'bent' as they are affectionately known. However, this book is a gem as it takes you right back to the 19th Century grass root bents and their development. From the cycle races they won, then were banned from - a ban still in force these days - to a non-technical intorduction into the designs and concepts.

If you are interested in Bents then this book will highlight the pros and cons of bents, from understeering and oversteering to LWB and SWB - make sense! Probably not, that's why you need this book!

Imagine pedalling your way to 60mph and beyond - amazing and not just know to a few bearded men swilling homemade beer. Read it and be enlightened!
