Living on Two Wheels - 2nd Edition 2nd edition

It is amazing what you can do on a bicycle and Dennis makes a very compelling presentation of how you can live on just a bicycle. This book explains how the average family can live with no car. A bicycle is all you need. Dennis Coello lives that life and he explains how it is done and what you need. Dennis has even been around the world on just a bicycle. He also conducts numerous bike clinics and has authored numerous books and magazine articles. Living on Two Wheels is the only bike book the average person will ever need. Dennis Coello begins by explaining why bikes are designed differently for different uses. Slowly, he takes you from how to choose one to how to maintain it, on through how to tour and travel by bike. Before he's done he gives you the names of the catalogue, manufacturers and distributors offering the best equipment. With clear but detailed drawings, he unravels the mysteries of derailleur, hub assemblies and gear ratios. Step-by-step, he simplifies the intricacies of striping, cleaning and reassembling your bike and along the way, he introduces you to the value and potential of the bicycle as transportation This is not a giddy account of biking through the woods, Nor is it a dry, complex shop manual. Rather, it is a handbook containing facts, lessons and experiences that make it THE valuable reference for anyone interested in biking.
