by Grant Petersen [796.6 Pet]
Just Ride is unabashedly opinionated, but Grant Petersen absolves you in the introduction from agreeing with him on everything. "I'm not asking you to buy everything - just to consider everything," he says. While there are some of his opinions that I strongly disagree with, he makes a strong case for his most central argument: that the influence of racing on the world of bicycling has led to practices that are not suitable for non-racing cyclists (Petersen calls them "Unracers"). He wants to free cyclists from feeling compelled to follow the trends established by bike racers, and he gives practical advice to encourage them to adopt practices more suited to the way they ride and in so doing, restore more fun and practicality to cycling. -- recommended by Peter J. - Virtual Services Department
