Good overview of the basics of bicycling (geared more towards commuting and short trips around town, I'd say), but tries too hard to be funny.
Great Guide to Bicycling! Here's my interview with the author at Newcolonist.com http://www.newcolonist.com/podcasts.html
Funny and easy read packed with practical information for someone who enjoys riding a bicycle.

Decent information but the author was trying too hard to be funny

Excellent overview of cycling in general. Somewhat specific to DFs.

Getting an advance copy from the author to review for Bikecommuters.com
Practical Cyclist was pretty much exactly as described, a low-intensity conversational walk-through of the basics of biking. And, while Haynes may know a fair amount about biking (though his decorative style is indeed questionable), his jokes are pretty limp. Nevertheless, a fairly informative if not exciting book.
