THE GOLD MEDAL BICYCLE HANDBOOK
When were you last awakened by the roar of a bicycle being pedaled past your house? When was the last time you saw a bicycle billowing out black smoke? "Bicycling is a good thing," writes John H. Savage, author of THE GOLD MEDAL BICYCLE HANDBOOK. "It's good exercise, good transportation, good sport, good recreation, and it's non-polluting. Aside from that," he continues, "it's fun." An original Fawcett paperback, THE GOLD MEDAL BICYCLE HANDBOOK, was published on August 1. The HANDBOOK, with its clear, useful diagrams and photos, provides complete information in bicycle anatomy; how to buy the right bike; which accessories are best for safety, utility and style; how to ride a bike; first aid; racing; bicycle games; on-the-spot repairs and maintenance. Also included are special sections on traveling and camping, with routes for longer bicycle tours and the addresses of bicycle publications, organizations, catalogs and suppliers. Author John Savage has bicycled thousands of kilometers in France and Spain and has for many years maintained a fleet of six bikes for himself and his family. ______________________________
