Richards Bicycle Book, the cyclists bible, was first published in 1972 and went on to sell millions. Many people are in the bike trade right now because of that book. And now it has been given a massive overhaul for the 21st Century

New Ballantine book available soon

Richards 21st Century Bicycle Book (Macmillan) is published on 6th October, just in time to be an Xmas stocking filler.

Price? £16.99 retail.

The September print version of bikebiz.co.uk (available after 17th September) will carry exclusive extracts from Ballantines opus. Hes very positive about why consumers should buy from IBDs.

Wonder if there’s still that advice on why, when and how to put-your-whole-arm(or pump)-down-the-dogs-throat?

(Now then, thats the only news story for today got to design the August mag and get it off to the printers! Its a wee bit late, although it will be out a month after the last one).
