Shredding the shelves at your local bookstore and bike shop, Mountain Bike Madness, published by Motorbooks International, has entered the building.

Since the 1970s, mountain biking has gone from no-tech to high-tech; Mountain Bike Madness documents the evolution of the mountain bike and the spread of ridership across America. Written in fun, conversational language, and featuring 80 full-color photos, this book takes enthusiasts old and new on a spin with:

  • The bikes: from cruisers and clunkers to full suspension and titanium, plus notes on gear, treads, and threads-plus practical advice on how much it can all cost.

  • The people: profiles of yesterday's and today's hottest riders!
  • The styles: street riding, cross-country, freeride, downhill, touring, and even night riding are featured.

  • The events: from an easy trail ride to World Cup competition, how everyone can get into the sport.
