Obsessions: Bicycles bicycles
obsessions David Perry
David Perry and John MacLeary The ultimate guide to the world of bicycles More and more people are taking to two wheels, whether for their commutes, for competition or simply for enjoyment. But there is far more to the world of bicycles than meets the eye. Obsessions: Bicycles provides an authoritative directory of the different styles of bicycle, the components that make them work, and the world of accessories and clothing that will adorn you. A chapter on riding geometry is included so that you may fit your bike to your body and not the other way round, and a generous list of some of the mainstays in modern bicycle manufacturing will point you in the right direction for a new machine. David Perry joined his first cycling team at the age of 4, and has been competing and collecting bikes ever since. John MacLeary is the cycling correspondent for The Telegraph, and has owned a road bike ever since he can remember. John has competed in some of the world’s top cycling events.
