Pleasure Cycling by Henry Clyde ~ Full Audiobook [self help]
About this episode
Pleasure Cycling by Henry Clyde audiobook.
Genre: self help
First published in 1895, Pleasure Cycling is Henry Clyde's warm, practical invitation into the new, exhilarating world of the safety bicycle - written for beginners who are just learning what it means to travel under their own power. Looking back on his own early missteps, Clyde speaks directly to the would-be 'wheelman' with clear, confidence-building guidance: how to choose a dependable machine, how to get comfortable in the saddle, and how to develop the balance, control, and road sense that turn wobbling practice into smooth, steady riding. Along the way, he covers the everyday realities that make cycling truly pleasurable, from simple maintenance and care to sensible dress and equipment, so riders can spend more time on the road and less time wrestling with preventable problems. More than a manual, the book is also a love letter to cycling as innocent enjoyment and healthy living, praising its physical benefits and its power to refresh the mind. Clyde's pages capture an idyllic pre-automobile moment when the open road felt newly accessible, and every ride promised freedom, fitness, and discovery.
