This is such a great book for a new cyclist starting their commuting journey as is the case for myself. I know very little about bikes myself and have let my husband take care of things for me, but at the same time I acknowledge the importance of being able to carry out simple maintenance jobs myself. This book is a very gentle introduction in that regard. I have to say the aesthetic of the book was also very appealing and i absolutely love the images used. Simple illustrations but very well expressed. I think it is an enjoyable reference and one to appreciate visually.
