Bike Repair Editorial Review

**** The Bicycling Big Book of Cycling for Beginners by Tori Bortman serves as an excellent gateway for new cyclists eager to embark on their biking journey. Not only does this book provide practical advice on the essentials of cycling, but it also respects and acknowledges the unique progression each rider undergoes. Bortman’s approach is commendable as she avoids condescension, instead fostering a genuine understanding of beginner preferences, such as the allure of padded seats for comfort. Her experience shines through, presenting information in a non-elitist style that invites readers to learn and explore their own paths without feeling pressured to conform to more seasoned cyclist opinions. The tone is both informative and engaging, allowing readers to delve deeper into biking mechanics, gear, and culture without feeling overwhelmed. It serves as both a guide and an enjoyable read that inspires a desire for continuous learning in the world of cycling. Importantly, Bortman encapsulates her passion for teaching and cycling, making it clear that she wishes to cultivate a love for the sport rather than merely imparting knowledge. While the book is positioned as a beginner's manual, it has also proven valuable for those transitioning to more serious biking, debunking the myth that new cyclists should already possess an expert-level understanding. However, a notable gap exists in the advice on purchasing options, as Bortman emphasizes local bike shops for new purchases while overlooking the potential of used bikes, which can often be a more budget-friendly option for novices testing the waters of cycling. Overall, the book is highly recommended for anyone looking to get started in cycling, with its empathetic tone and wealth of information making it a worthwhile investment. **
