At a very young age many of us developed a love affair with our bikes. After all, it wasn't just a bike-it was our best friend, our means of escape, our opportunity to fly like a bird, only closer to the ground.
Being reintroduced to bicycling can be a blessing in so many ways. Reaching a destination may take a bit longer than a car but one thing is for sure, the journey will be much more enjoyable!
Cycling 101 provides those interested in taking up cycling with all the general information needed to make cycling a part of their life.
Written in a simple yet informative method, Cycling 101:
- Explains the benefits of cycling as a lower-impact alternative to jogging.
- Provides a good understanding of the bike, components, and features they offer.
- Enhances reader retention through end of chapter worksheets/tests, numerous illustrations/images, and QR Code links to videos demonstrating concepts.
- Reacquaints the reader to an old childhood friend – a bicycle!
