AUTHOR The Milk Maid

I still have the scars - under my chin and on my knee - from falling off my very first bike as a small child. Until a couple of years ago I'm not sure I'd been on a bike very much since that fateful tumble!

It was while I had someones armpit in my face on the tube that I thought perhaps cycling to get around London might be a preferred option and so began to do a little research. Unfortunately this bible of a book, Heels on Wheels, by fashion editor, Katie Dailey, hadn't yet been printed so I've made some knicker flashing and near miss mistakes, learning how to navigate the busy roads the hard way.

Sharing her own traumas, but mostly pleasures, insights and advise, Katie's book is the ideal introduction, or reintroduction to cycling - saving anyone keen to get back in the saddle from embarrassing and dangerous mistakes.





Written in simple prose Heels on Wheels isn't patronising but informative and humorous; covering everything from choosing your bike, preventing thieves, safety and basic bicycle maintenance to avoiding hat hair, arriving polished and sensible but stylish sartorial choices.





Her snippets of wisdom, savvy advise and stylish insight is accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Clare Owen and the ideal read for anyone keen to be released from the shackles of public transport while maintaining a blow dry!

Heels on Wheels by Katie Dailey is published by Hardie Grant Books and available to buy on Amazon
