Description: A charmingly illustrated, practical guide for every kind of cyclist: learn (almost) everything about the world's most economical, ecological, practical, and invigorating machine!
Brief description: Adrien Zammit is a graphic designer and cycling enthusiast. He has always cycled, in town and in the countryside, and has taken a liking to bikepacking adventures. He lives in an Auvergne village, in central France, where his bicycle is his only vehicle.
Review Quotes: Congenially cartooned and handwritten, this guide covers virtually all facets of riding a bicycle, from parts of the bike to types of bikes (multipurpose, utility, fast, leisure), finding a bike that fits, choosing saddles, biking pains and their causes and corrections, accessories, making repairs, navigating city traffic, and more. The author is realistic about the limitations of the bike to solve the world's environmental problems, yet he extols its low cost to own and operate, its health benefits, its ability to connect riders to their communities, its utter practicality and reliability. While text and illustrations are utilitarian in their dispensing of information, Zammit has a sly humor.-- "Booklist"
