Blurb:

No matter what or how you ride, read this book and remind yourself just how enjoyable cycling can and should be.”—Eben Weiss, author of The Enlightened Cyclist

Just Ride is a revelation. Forget the ultralight, uncomfortable bikes, flashy jerseys, clunky shoes that clip onto tiny pedals, the grinding out of endless miles. Instead, ride like you did when you were a kid—just get on your bike and discover the pure joy of riding it.

Review:

Written in short 1 or 2 page chapters this book covers a wealth of areas that often challenges the traditional thinking on riding your bike. Over 88 chapters you will remember what it was that got you into cycling before you bought all the fancy clothing, gear and accessories! Whilst Grant doesn’t begrudge this his message is to just enjoy cycling - you don’t need fancy shoes, the latest jacket - you just need to get on your bike and ride.

Learn to ‘unracer’ yourself and enjoy cycling for what it really is. Some chapters will challenge your thinking and views more than others - but that’s what a good book should do.

Easy to read in short chapters this is a book that you will just keep dipping into.

Rating: 5/5
