Excellent quick read,
I bought this book based on a review in The Economist that made it look interesting. I’m not a bike nut, though I have one and ride it a couple times a week. This book, though, is not written for the bicycle fanatic, but for a layperson for whom bikes are, and have always been, part of the background of life. There’s detail on the origins and development of the bike, along with enough — just enough — insights from the author’s experience to make it not a sterile read. It’s also interesting to meet the people involved in various aspects of the bicycle business, from mountain-bikers in Marin County to handlebar manufacturers (who knew there was so much technology in a handlebar?) in Italy. There’s also enough here, in terms of content and accuracy, to make it of interest to people who ARE already knowledgeable about road bikes: two of my friends who are competitive road biciclists have read it with enthusiasm. So, all in all, a pleasure to read, and over way too soon.

|A wonderful perspective; excellent research and history.,
Penn’s gift is that he takes the bicycle, the thing we all had as kids and take for granted, and gives it its proper place in our culture, history, and record of technological innovation. And it’s no small thing. He’s a deft writer, clever and witty, and you will never look at your bicycle the same after reading this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
