Books

Cycle books are geared towards people who want to learn more about the sport and pastime that they love. You can get mountain bike books and road bike books as well as more specialist publications relating to triathlon cycles and techniques, so there should be something for a variety of different cyclists out there.

Some cycle books aimed at those whose primary hobby is mountain biking will give you details about the various places you can go around the country in order to find trails and routes that are popular amongst the community. Detailed mapping will help you find your way around each course and you may even discover routes local to you which you had no idea existed. This means a mountain bike book can be beneficial whether you are planning a trip or just looking for fun in the surrounding area. Similar books relating to road cycling on a national or continental level are also available.

Interestingly there are a number of biking books covering both factual and fictional journeys from a number of authors which you can dip into if you are a fan. Some of the true life tales cover arduous journeys taken across exotic lands, while the fictional accounts look at cycling in a different light and can bring new perspective on your passion.

The final category of cycling book to consider is the history. You can get books detailing the events which led to the formation of the industry and even find specific titles dedicated to individual manufacturers, occasionally running into multiple volumes.
