Summary

At their finest hours, bikes exist on a level above mere machines, and there's no reason the joy should end when the ride is over. Written by a working bicycle mechanic, this book cuts through the techno-speak and delivers maintenance clarity with a touch of humor and radicalism while categorically denying mechanics' supposed dreariness. Bicycle! is about encouraging society to learn for themselves how to make their bikes work, not because they have to, but because they want to. With detailed descriptions of all maintenance tasks and repair situations, clearly illustrated with photographs and drawings, this guide will serve the need for a serious rider's manual.--From publisher description
