About the book
Women's needs are different from
those of most men--in bikes and
biking as much as in any other
aspect of life. In this convenient
and compact book, Julie Harrell
provides thorough support for any
woman new to serious cycling.
Special information is provided that
will help you deal with the
frequently encountered male bias in
many bike stores. You'll learn the
language to use so you'll be taken
seriously
