I know John was joking about buying this book for our "significant others" so that they would understand the quirky ways of their cyclist. Well, I was at Borders about a week ago and as I was looking through books on cycling, I saw that they had one copy left...so I picked it up. It is actually a pretty good book. It was funny reading about some of the traits of a roadie that I have already adopted in my short time as a bike racer. Right now I am reading about the ins and outs of a criterium which will be helpful for upcoming events. Not a bad read...I recommend it. I'm almost finished reading it if anyone would like to borrow it after I'm done.
