Customer Reviews

More for the UK than the US
This is a pretty good book if you live in the UK considering that most of the traffic and commuting advice is specific to their roadways and park systems. The kerning of the text (full justify) also drove me nuts as a graphic designer.

What a great book!
I loved this book. Not only did it get me more motivated to ride but gave me ideas on how to do it.
Those in the US may have trouble with the all the writing about travelling on the left side of the road.
I really wish that I lived in an area that was so bike friendly as the UK.
