In The Women’s Guide to Motorcycling, author Lynda Lahman, herself a motorcycle owner and rider, provides a comprehensive look at motorcycling techniques, street smarts, and safety concerns while addressing female-specific challenges as well as issues that all bikers face from a female point of view. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINSIDE The Women’s Guide to Motorcycling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnecdotes from female motorcycle enthusiasts, riders, and owners, including the author’s own story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomen as a growing presence among riders, including notable names of the past and present\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMotorcycle skills from basic to advanced, appropriate for bikers of all levels of experience and expertise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe physical and mental aspects of riding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsiderations for choosing a bike, such as seat height and weight distribution, and female-appropriate gear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA primer on proper maintenance and dealing with mechanical problems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent types of riding, such as sport, racing, touring, long distance, and off road\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGetting more out of the sport through involvement in clubs, forums, charity events, and mentoring new riders\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CompanionHouse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139403235568,"sku":"9781620082102","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781620082102_p0.jpg?v=1763856695","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781620082102","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
