How to Be a Better Cyclist

How to be a better cyclist has been written by leading cycle expert John Franklin.
Illustrated throughout and covering everything from "Cycling Basics" through to "Riding Position" and "Clothing & Equipment", 'How to Be a Better Cyclist' provides practical on-road guidance and advice on "Riding Techniques", "Planned System of Cycling", "Cycling in Town" and "Cycling in the Countryside". There are even useful sections on "Cycling for the Family" and "Cycling in Tricky Conditions".

Whether a seasoned road user returning to cycling, or a younger member of the family who perhaps has only ever received guidance through a cycling proficiency session at primary school, 'How to be a better cyclist' will prove an invaluable and practically helpful book.
