review 1: Dave Barter is a British cycling enthusiast with a wicked British sense of humor. He has put together a collection of published and unpublished articles he has written over the years on a variety of his bicycling adventures, from biking the length of England, to all night bike rides, participating in Tour du France stage races, mountain biking in Sardinia and The Alps, and Cyclocrossing in England.The pieces are uneven as they represent a full cross section of Mr. Barter's writing career (in fact, many time the more recently written introduction to each article is better than the article itself).I recommend this relatively inexpensive and often amusing book to both the bicycle enthusiast and casual rider. OTOH, I do not believe the non-cyclist would find much of interest ... morein this book.
review 2: Easy going and well written. For anyone who can relate to the world of cycling, with a good humoured account of all kinds of situations you can bike yourself into. It's a collection of good columns, not a literary masterpiece. I enjoyed listening to the audio version while commuting to work. Got frustrated to, listening to someone ranting about all the fun outdoors while being stuck in traffic on my way to another stressday at the office :) less
