A Big Thank-You to Online Cyclists !


As cyclists living in a rural area, we have long relied on the online bicycle community for information, advice, and support. It is impossible to say "thank you" too many times to the dedicated individuals who maintain the sites described in this book (and hundreds more that we couldn't squeeze in--but you'll find them on your own). Without their efforts, this book wouldn't be possible. You'll "meet" some of these cybercyclists through their comments, advice, and stories in the book.

Please remember that every site reviewed in the book is copyrightcopyrighted by the owner and that no text or images from any online cycling resource should be reprinted or duplicated online without the owner's knowledge or permission. We are especially grateful to the following individuals who allowed us to use images from their sites (listed in order of appearance):
