The Rules - Velominati
Finally also in German language: The etiquette for racing cyclists
The Velominati stand for the unconditional love for fast cycling - not just as a leisure activity or as a way of getting around, but as an expression of their own way of life. They were formed to celebrate and uphold the important cultural heritage of road cycling, together with the constant pursuit of sporting excellence in the saddle and absolute elegance of appearance. THE RULES are your bible.
The trademark and secret of success of the Velominati is an incomparably dry mixture of genuine passion for cycling, enormous expertise, a big mouth and a great sense of humor. Like a kind of fight club on two narrow tires, they line up to initiate their readers into the etiquette and secret rituals of cycling and to announce the good news of what good style in road cycling is all about. Now their humorous code, a collection of 95 rules that has long enjoyed cult status in the cycling scene in Germany, can finally be studied in German.
This book is an essential guide in every serious road cyclist's kit, whether you're just trying to look good on a day-to-day basis or training to be the new Eddy Merckx.
