RECOMMENDED BOOKS:
Chainbreaker Bike Book: A Rough Guide to Bicycle Maintenance : A hand-illustrated and accessible introduction to the world of bike repair! Through working at both Plan B Bike Project and French Quarter Bicycles in New Orleans, our co-authors have gathered a wealth of experience to share with would-be mechanics. The first half of this book is a complete repair manual to get you started on choosing, fixing, and riding your bike. The second half reprints all four issues of Chainbreaker zine, whose originals were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
ZINES:
Do It Yourself Bike Touring : for those who want to tour, but think they need to save a ton of money to do so (you don’t).
A Rough Guide to Bicycle Maintenance : an awesome zine with detailed drawings and labeling for repairs and know-how. Later published as part of the Chainbreaker Bike Book.
