Fat Tire: A Celebration of the Mountain Bike

Rating:
Summary: Mountain biking 101
Review: It is kind of cool to have actual tire tread on the cover. But I did get this because I like mountain biking, and it was on sale. Anyway. Basically just a history lesson. Does have great pictures, but also plenty to read. It covers everything from the very first fat tire bikes, right up through disc brakes and any other advances from recent history. If I remember correctly it also comments on the people and culture of biking through the years. Nothing too deep. Like someone else said, good coffee table book.

Review: This book is best bought for the pictures. The photography is awesome. You dont learn techniques, but you learn history and personalities. I thought that the pictures were so beautiful that the book is worth it just for them. I got the book at the library but plan to buy it for myself.
