Moleskine notebooks have renewed cachets.
I discovered a cousin of these that you will not use to couch your adventures but rather open in search of 'already printed' tips on how to fix your brakes, deal with unwieldly gears and patch tires.
Punctures happen, The Bike Owner’s Handbook (May 2012, Cicada Books UK, Paperback, £9.95) by Peter Drinkell saves the day.
"Anyone who has ridden a bicycle to work, whizzing past the traffic, the wind behind you, coasting in at a fraction of the time of public transport, knows that there is a romance and a magic to cycling. The bike is remarkable in its simplicity and easy to take for granted, but all romance needs to be worked at and your bicycle is no exception."
