Hi all, hope you're all well.

I've been cycling for a year now, mainly around London and short-distance. However, I want to step it up a notch now summer's here and try some longer distances (London to Brighton seems like a good first run).
I'm also interested in improving my bike maintenance skills to the point where I'm able to build a customised bike. Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for god books to teach myself some maintenance/bike building and long-distance cycling.

Thanks!

    +1 for that book - bought it recently off eBay. Hope to put it to good use - seems to address most issues with clarity.
