What We Think:
Greg takes us on a ride from his days as a freestyle skier at Lake Tahoe
to winning the Tour de France. His inside look at the politics of professional
team racing is intriguing. Along the way he covers buying, sizing, and
maintaining a bike, riding technique, building a training program, and
even diet.
His training program took me from a weekend "tooler" to a hard charging
rider. If you are serious about bicycle riding, this is a must-have
book.
Published in 1990, the equipment is somewhat dated, but the basics still
apply.

What We Think:
This totally hand-drawn and hand-lettered book is a hilarious but very
informative guide to mountain bike riding technique. Nealy disguises
his depth of knowledge behind a irreverent sense of humor.
There are definitely some tricks in here I'll never try. None-the-less,
I've improved my technical riding considerably by practicing his techniques.
Published in 1992, the book is somewhat dated in the fast changing bike
world, but it is still well worth owning.
Also look for his In-Line skating book.
