Are you new to road bike cycling and looking for some friendly, supportive, down-to-earth help that isn't shared in a way that talks down to you? Then look no further than Road Bike Cycling: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide. This bite-sized beginner's guide doesn't take itself too seriously, and, while written in a playful, amusing style, includes excellent advice that will tell you everything you need to know to get the most enjoyment out of your new road cycling hobby.

This book is brought to you by Ben Phillips, a keen road cyclist for more than 10 years, who shares his extensive experiences - the good, the great, the misfortune, and the mishaps - so that you can benefit from his hindsight and learn to love cycling quicker, safer, and without making the same stupid mistakes he did!

It's been created with new cyclists in mind and is split into three easy-to-navigate main segments - each with their relevant subsections:

• Before heading out onto the road
• Out on the road
• How to manage your partner's expectations (a.k.a. your "cycling widow") when you fall in love with your road bike and want to spend more time with it than them!

So lose yourself in Lycra, smoother yourself in chamois, and clip on those cleats. This is going to be one hell of a ride!
