I've read a lot of these books, and meant to read a few other listed (but got waysided), so I'll add a couple of more that I don't see listed.
The 10 speed Commandments, by Mike Keefe
http://www.amazon.com/Ten-Speed-Comm.../dp/0385238037
and (I can't believe no ones mentioned it yet), The Yellow Jersey, by Ralph Hurne. A classic.

It's about cycling as a Bicycle Messenger in various cities. . . Very exciting and informative.
Just checked it out on Amazon and it's selling for $198!!
one of the comments was by a friend
yes this is a self-published book and she busted her butt to get it out there. I only wish she knew what the book, which originally sold for $20, is going for these days, because she probably has a box or two of them sitting in her basement in Buffalo (and she's probably still chipping away at the debt generated by publishing it). :-)
and another comment
Too bad that Amazon only has used copies for sale at such exhorbitant prices. This, effectively, cuts-off access to this book to the general public. Even DC Courier, who used to sell the book directly, no longer has an online store to sell this book.
Sad that such an amazing book, which should be read more widely, is effectively cutoff from the circulation it deserves.
