Reviews" Gravel Cycling is an encyclopedia but definitely not an unabridged one. Still, the book gives you stunning visuals, enough stoke to last a lifetime, and valuable bits of knowledge from many of the best soldiers in the trenches of the gravel and bikepacking worlds... As a 'coffee table paperback', it makes for a stunning presentation of the gravel and bikepacking scenes. Combined with the technical and practical knowledge that you can access from this book, the value it presents far outweighs the asking price. The honesty with which Nick looks at the gravel and bikepacking scenes and the clear way which he navigates the reader through this book is refreshing as well. Would it make a great gift for the aspiring or avid gravel/bikepacker? Absolutely." -- RidingGravel.com " Gravel Cycling by former VeloNews tech editor Nick Legan offers everything you'd want from a guide to gravel." -- VeloNews " Gravel Cycling is both a utilitarian reference for gravel riding and a celebration of the fastest growing discipline in the cycling world...Worthy of display with its top-notch photographs; selected race and tour descriptions from around the world; and Q&As with race promoters, athletes, bicycle designers, route-planners, and other experts." -- Mountain Flyer "Gravel riding and bikepacking are buzzing. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgeable gravel rider and writer than Nick Legan...Legan's book is packed with more than 250 pages of insights on two-wheeled adventure off the beaten path." -- Gear Junkie "This IS the go-to book for your next adventure!" -- Yuri Hauswald

Gravel beginners
Good book for the beginnings of the gravel craze. Though more of a coffee table book. Large size makes it inconvenient to take on ride trips. Most of the events are easily found on the net. A lot of color photos of the ridesBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
