Bikes: Primary ride now a LOOK 585-Love it.

The Race and The Tour, novels by Dave Shields

Riding with the Blue Moth by Bill Hancock

French Revolutions by Tim Moore

Tales from the Tool Box, no longer in print but very interesting from Velo Publishing

Bike Love, a fun book of short stories. http://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Love-S.../dp/1891369458 Highly reccomended.

John Howard, Pushing the Limits. A GREAT bio about one of the countries great cyclists in the 60-70s before Greg and Lance took it to the next level. Out of print but you can find it if you look. I think Mr. Howard himself still has copies and he has a website.

The Rider, a classic...loved it.

Inside the Postal Bus, Michael Barry

Have read three books about Lance and enjoyed them all. However, I don't think I'm much of a Lance fan any longer...I have mixed feelings about recommending them.

Metal Cowboy by Joe Kurmaskie, just bought it yesterday but I've read good reviews.

Anything by C.S. Lewis

A Walk in the Woods; The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson. Not many writers make me laugh out loud, Bill does. Dave Barry type humor.

I really wanted to like Ten Points but in the end just found it a bit disturbing. Probably has something to do with my own upbringing.

Good reading to ya.
