History of mountain biking
What is the best book available on history of mountain biking and also covering various mountain bike start up companies? I know about the monbat Museum and the one in Marin County California which I hope to visit both one day. In the meantime I would love to have some a book or books on histories.

Paul Brodie has just put out a new book that covers the vintage mountain bike scene in BC Canada really nicely:
