Title: Flawed Execution
Product review: As with many, I picked up this book based on a recommendation by the bike tour company 'Backroads'.While the book has enough information to be useful to a BEGINNER cyclist (which basically I am) it has one annoying problem.The book is printed on 'watermarked' paper. To explain further....take a look at the book cover picture posted on Amazon's site. Do you see the grey background graphics of bicycles and the branding for HUBBUB?; well, that is the background that EVERY page in the book is printed on! Reading black that is printed over a busy and relatively dark watermarked background is a chore and, at least to me, extremely annoying. It was difficult for me to do much more than skim this book.For the BEGINNER cyclist taking a bike vacation, the material is likely 4 star (as much as I read), but the execution more than deserves an overall rating of 2 stars.
