Review:This book is outstanding, and while I retain very little respect for Lance Armstrong on a personal level, after watching his interview with Opera, I still highly recommend this book, as it is outstanding. Read more
Review:Regardless of how you feel about Bruce Lee, this book is very useful for someone who is looking for creative and effective ways to work out. I have incorporated many aspects of it into my personal routine. Read more
Review:Listen up sheeple! Good book that can give you knowledge and the steps to ensure the possibility of the future with you in it. The vehicle section very wise! Nothing is absolute and knowledge is power, if nothing happens, you still have that knowledge. You don't have to get a retreat, and you don't have to idle buy and do nothing. Go ahead Big brother will save you, they wouldn't let everyone starve, Wake Up! Food storage and sanitation is key. It's not necessarily new knowledge he gives, just a... Read more
Review:After enjoying his playing career, he was a very flawed individual in his personal life. His dalliances with women reveal a man of questionable character. Things are not always what they appear to be. I appreciate his honesty, but question his morals. Read more
Review:I have been to several mountain bike training schools and this book still offered information I have not relieved in school. It is a great read, the author is funny and still teaches new techniques and riding principles. Read more
Review:Practical is the right word to describe this book: the author eschews trendy clothing, bikes and accessories and advocates just getting on the thing and riding. Lots of valuable info. Stop by his shop in Walnut Creek if you're ever in the area, nice knowledgable people. Read more
Review:208 pages of tedium followed by 11 pages of mildly humorous writing. I'm a big fan of Bike Snob's blog, but this book was a real let-down. In some parts it felt like he was trying too hard to be funny. Other times, it felt like he was trying to be unfunny. It just didn't hit the same chord as his web page. I'll try re-reading it in a couple weeks. Maybe I'll see some humour I missed the first time round. But right now, I wouldn't recommend this book. Read more

Review:The author's love for all aspects of bicycling is quite evident in this book: the history, its culture, the joy of riding, the challenge of long trips, and the bike itself. But most of all, he is intrigued by "old-school" bicycle craftsmen, who know virtually everything about bicycles, tend to use traditional tools and techniques, and are committed to quality above all else. The basis of this book is the author's quest to have the perfect - for him - bike built, utilizing the knowledge of bicycl... Read more
