For an introduction to the basics of vehicular-style riding (which
experienced bicyclists generally agree to be the safest), I recommend
John S. Allen's book, "The Complete Book of Bicycle Commuting".
It covers many of the same things that will be found in John
Forester's "Effective Cycling", and many of the things in the
League of American Wheelmen's Effective Cycling program, but is
better written than Forester's book (at least, better written than
the original edition - MIT is about to release an updated edition),
and is available where no Effective Cycling instructor can be found.

Allen's book covers most of the other topics that everyday cyclists
need to know.  It is based on his series of articles for *Bicycling*
magazine.
