Who doesn't remember what it feels like to be a young person on a bike. Cycling offers kids an unrivalled freedom and independence. With global cycling trends on a new, post-pandemic high, more young people are experiencing the joys of the beautiful machine.
This book is aimed at young people who are already proficient cyclists and are keen to learn more. It explains all the basics: how to choose a bike (types of bikes, getting the right fit), basic maintenance (changing a tire, cleaning your bike), cycling techniques (pedaling, gearing, cornering, bunny hops), and next level cycling (competitions and training).
Alongside these informative texts, there is a cornucopia of facts and trivia about the unusual habits of famous cyclists, the weirdest, biggest, furthest, and longest bikes and journeys, the most useful cycling life-hacks, etc.
