So I've been out biking around my area -Osaka Japan, and now I would am playing with the idea of bike tour-I really don't have a "bike group" around here-or at least one that I can understand
So what I would like is a good reference book to get me started.
At present I am searching for a bike shop here in Osaka that I can order a Jamis Nova bike through (this is quite the adventure between my limited Japanese and the bike shop English -ahhh the thrill of living overseas!)

Any suggestions for a reference book to start me off?
