Synopsis

As sensible as it may seem in an era when fuel prices are skyrocketing in tandem with environmental consciousness, a switch to bicycle commuting doesn’t necessarily happen overnight. Certain questions arise: Do I really need that $1,500 bike? Are Lycra shorts necessary? What about traffic rules? What to do when a tire blows? In The Bicycle Commuter’s Pocket Guide, veteran cyclist, bike commuter, professional messenger, and author Robert Hurst gives you all the answers you need for worry-free riding.

• Compact and user-friendly
  
  
• For riding to work, to the grocery store, or just around town
  
  
• Color photos and illustrations—plus a popout® map!
