1001 Cycling Tips by Hannah Reynolds is a light-hearted and informative guide to all kinds of cycling.

This is no standard instruction manual – it is much more useful than that. This is a huge collection of small tips to make a real difference to your cycling, whether you’re into road cycling, mountain biking, have an ebike, gravel bike or commute to work on your bike – this book will take you through everything you need to know.

The vast range of topics covered includes everything from choosing your bike, the essential kit and clothing you’ll need and navigation to fitness, nutrition, bike maintenance at home and on the road, and travelling with your bike. Hannah’s no-nonsense advice and vast knowledge base will ensure that you have the right tools to enjoy your cycling and achieve your goals, whether you want to race, climb huge mountains or enjoy days out on two wheels with the family.

Hannah Reynolds is a writer and bike rider who has worked in the cycling industry for over 20 years. She loves racing and demonstrates that lack of talent is no barrier to participation, having competed in everything from downhill to road to 24-hour mountain biking with varying and limited degrees of success. Formerly fitness editor for Cycling Weekly and editor of Cycling Active magazine, she is now a freelance writer covering everything from human interest stories and cycling adventures to nerdy tech and fitness pieces. Hannah has co-written three cycling guidebooks: Fitter, Further, Faster; Get on Your Bike and France en Velo. Working as a guide for Saddle Skedaddle gets her out from behind her laptop and into the hills of the UK and Europe. Based in the Howgill Fells in Cumbria, she can often be found dragging a toddler in a bike trailer up ridiculously steep climbs because cycling changes as life changes – but it’s always there. www.hannahmreynolds.com
