Up-to-date guidance for maintenance and repair of the modern bicycle. In recent years, more bicycles have been sold for everyday transportation than for sports use, and this book reflects that trend. Covered are all types of bicyckes, including city bikes and E-bikes. Instructions are in a non-technical step-by-step format, with an abundance of clear illustrations. Compared to the first edition of this title, both text and illustrations have been expanded and improved, with more emphasis on everyday-bicycle issues.

Rob van der Plas is the author of numerous books on cycling, including The Penguin Bicycle Handbook, The Mountain Bike Book, Bicycle Technology, and Bicycle Repair. He lives in San Francisco. He has been called as an expert witness in numerous cases involving bicycle-safety and patent disputes.
