Neiman-Baranet is one of cycling's champions who truly loves all aspects of the sport, from touring to racing. "Bicycling: The Bicycle in Recreation, Competition and Transportation" is now obscure (printed in 1973), but it still has that classic flavour from a member of the bicycling culture who has valuable things to say. Neiman Baranet underplays her own history of championship in the 50s which is documented in "No Brakes!". Lots of historically valuable info is offered in "Bicycling" to delight the cycling history buff.
