Today, seven of every ten bicycles sold in the United States are mountain bikes. It's no wonder then that the bicycling literature is shifting focus to this machine. Van der Plas, a prolific bicycling author with no fewer than nine other titles currently in print (e.g., The Bicycle Touring Manual , LJ 10/1/87; The Bicycle Repair Book , Bicycle Bks., 1989), capitalizes on this trend here. All aspects of mountain biking are covered, albeit briefly, in these 128 pages: bike frames, components, maintenance, clothing, accessories, touring, etc. The most important and useful chapters are "Basic Riding Skills" and "Advanced Off-Road Techniques." This beautifully illustrated treatment (color photos on practically every page) is recommended as a solid introduction for libraries lacking in this area.
