W. Norton & Company is the definitive guide for road cyclists, featuring 95 curated rules blending performance tips, cycling etiquette, and wicked humor. Celebrated by the Velominati community, this book is a must-have for anyone serious about cycling culture, offering practical advice and a unique insider perspective that transforms every ride into a statement of style and passion. ## Description The Rules is an essential part of every cyclist's kit--whether you're riding to work or training to be the next Bradley Wiggins or Victoria Pendleton. Winning awards and gaining millions of viewers, Velominati.com has become an online cycling mecca. In 92 canonical rules, these masters of the peloton share tips on gear, tell stories from cycling's legendary hardmen, and enforce the etiquette of the road--with a healthy, often sinister sense of humor. Practical and motivating (Rule #12: the correct number of bikes to own is N + 1, where N is the number of bikes currently owned), unflinching and authoritative (Rule #9: If you're out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.), The Rules will help readers find their cycling passion, whether it's in high alpine passes or tight velodrome races, in the garage before the ride or in the bar afterward. Vive la Vie Velominatus. Review: We are Cyclists - the rest of the world merely ride their bikes - If you are a 'roadie', or 'carbon fairy' as opposed to a 'mud monkey' - you'll soon find yourself quoting the rules and finding yourself hooked by the (heretofore) unsaid rules of road cycling. The book illustrates "The Rules" of Road Cycling - not the rules of racing, they are far less philosophically interesting - that have evolved over years and miles in the saddles. The illustrations are funny, full of 'in' cycling references, and very well observed. The Rules are empirical - they are The Rules because the *are* the rules. There is no central body overseeing - the Velominati are merely collecting and curating the way things are in Road Cycling - and what a hoot. You'll be quoting "Rule 5!" to people within days. A fantastic book to dip into again and again.

Any cyclist should read it but would be more appreciated by road cyclists. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Rules: The Way of the Cycling Disciple - The Cyclist's Training Bible: The World's Most Comprehensive Training Guide - The Ultimate Ride: Get Fit, Get Fast, and Start Winning with the World's Top Cycling Coach --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/558999077-rules-the-way-of-the-cycling-disciple](https://www.desertcart.us/products/558999077-rules-the-way-of-the-cycling-disciple) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
