Spandex Optional Bicycle Touring

If you can ride a bike across town, you can ride across the country. And all that Spandex? It's totally optional. With this book, learn what to eat, where to sleep, how to find a route that works for you, what to pack, crack logistics for transporting your bike, the all-important psychology of touring, and why training sucks. Bicycle tourists usually resemble intimidating neon ironman super-bugs, but don't let this fool you. You don't need to spend a fortune or become a mechanic. All you need is motivation and this book.
