Has anyone seen the new 2nd edition of "Recumbent Bicycle"? Like it?
Jeff. I did have a question. On page 72 bottom paragraph on the left
he refers to a "chopping action" when pedaling. Do you know how this is done? Is there a special technique? Thanks. Jeff Potter wrote in message ... There's only one book all about recumbents: "The Recumbent Bicycle" by Gunnar Fehlau. Has anyone here seen the new 2nd edition that I released a few months ago? I'd think there'd be some buzz about it, being a fully revised and updated edition of, well, the only general coverage recumbent book. Anyone interested in the only recumbent book? Some angles that immediately pop to mind about such a newsworthy event: Does it seem reasonably up to date? Is text flow better than before? ---It's an English translation from a German original. The new edition shouldn't have hardly any German-glish left in it. Oh I know a good question anyone interested in books might have: Is it lacking something significant that a general book should have? I already have my own list of major things to improve with the next printing. Can anyone guess what they are? There's 2 or 3 right off the bat. *** I'm finally getting inventory out to the recumbent specialty shops nationwide (and in Canada and UK) these past couple weeks. It's springtime and time for bikes! Anyone know of a good bike shop that offers bents that I should be sure to call? I also plan to let the library market know all about it. Anyone who cares about kids probably has a sense of how kids might react to discovering the world of recumbents. Bike innovations are probably a pretty popular library book topic in general. I'm also producing a recumbent poster. As I've been speaking with bike shops I get the impression that there aren't other recumbent posters out there this year and that there haven't been many before in general. One in the last couple years maybe, and maybe 2 others before that. (Burley, Rans, Vision?) I'm thinking that a poster that does what it can to promote recumbenteering in general is a good way to go. Maybe this would help shops and also be good to put up in workshops or in windtrainer rooms. *** Well, thanks for your thoughts about this major recumbent culture event! |
