I read about this book, and thought it would be a great gift for my nephews, who love bicycling and live in a biking home. When it arrived (right on time), it was so beautiful.... almost like a piece of art -- we decided to give it to the entire family rather than just the kids. What a find!

Bought it for my father's birthday who is a tour de France nut. He thought it was a fun gift. It does have great info.
