One nice thing about the Sony Reader is you have access to Google Books - these are all in the public domain and there are thousands of them. Out of curiosity this morning I started searching for texts on cycling and found quite a few. Apparently in the 1800's titles were much longer than currently. For example:
"Cycling for health and pleasure: an indispensable guide to the successful use of the wheel" Porter, 1896
"Amateur Bicycle Repairing" Park, 1885
Are there any classics that I should look for? I found something called:
"Around the World on a Bicycle" Thomas Stevens, 1888. This volume covers from Teheran to Yokohama and is the second volume of 2. Apparently Google Books didn't scan the first volume, or I haven't found it yet.
Too much time on my hands, I've been home sick since Tuesday afternoon - but back to the office tomorrow YAYYYY :)
