A Gear Higher is the first book on bicycling which provides any rider with the tools to see, identify with certainty, and solve the problems of high performance cornering. Riders who use this information will discover the art of cornering.

The techniques contained in this book address aspects of riding which everyone has to deal with, no matter what their skill or experience level. The material will change the way you look at cornering your bicycle, road or dirt.

Keith Code has coached over 30,000 motorcycle riders and racers in the fine art of cornering the two wheeled vehicle. His personal students are a virtual who's who list in the racing world and his three books and video are the acknowledged bibles and the world's bestsellers on the subject.

Code's and lifelong cyclist and co-author David Gordon's material on bicycle riding nails the unique problem areas common to all two wheeled sports.
