Download or read book Art of Cycling written by Robert Hurst and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bicyclist is under attack from all directions - the streets are ragged, the air is poison, and the drivers are angry. As if that weren't enough, the American cyclist must carry the weight of history along on every ride. After a brief heyday at the turn of the twentieth century, American cyclists fell out of the social consciousness, becoming an afterthought when our cities were planned and built. Cyclists today are left to navigate, like rats in a sewer, through a hard and unsympathetic world that was not made for them. Yet, with the proper attitude and a bit of knowledge, cyclists can thrive in this hostile environment. Covering much more than just riding a bike in traffic, author Robert Hurst paints, in uncanny detail, the challenges, strategies, and art of riding a bike on America's modern streets and roadways. The Art of Cycling dismantles the bicycling experience and slides it under the microscope, piece by piece.

Download or read book Two Wheels Good written by Jody Rosen and published by Crown. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic revisionist portrait of the nineteenth-century invention that is transforming the twenty-first-century world “Excellent . . . calls to mind Bill Bryson, John McPhee, Rebecca Solnit.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker The bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly at odds with our age of smartphones and ride-sharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bike—and nearly everyone does. In Two Wheels Good, journalist and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanity’s life and dream life—and a flash point in culture wars—for more than two hundred years. Combining history, reportage, travelogue, and memoir, Rosen’s book sweeps across centuries and around the globe, unfolding the bicycle’s saga from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a “green machine,” an emblem of sustainability in a world afflicted by pandemic and climate change. Readers meet unforgettable characters: feminist rebels who steered bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a prospector who pedaled across the frozen Yukon to join the Klondike gold rush, a Bhutanese king who races mountain bikes in the Himalayas, a cycle-rickshaw driver who navigates the seething streets of the world’s fastest-growing megacity, astronauts who ride a floating bicycle in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station. Two Wheels Good examines the bicycle’s past and peers into its future, challenging myths and clichés while uncovering cycling’s connection to colonial conquest and the gentrification of cities. But the book is also a love letter: a reflection on the sensual and spiritual pleasures of bike riding and an ode to an engineering marvel—a wondrous vehicle whose passenger is also its engine.

Download or read book It s All about the Bike written by Robert Penn and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bicycle is one of mankind's greatest inventions - the most efficient self-powered means of transportation ever invented. Robert Penn has ridden one most days of his adult life. In his late-20s, he pedalled 40,000kms around the world. He's in the middle of a long love affair with the bicycle. Yet, like cyclists everywhere, the utilitarian bike he currently owns doesn't even hint at this devotion. Penn needs a new bike, a bike that reflects how he feels when he's riding it - like an ordinary man touching the gods. So Penn has designed and built his dream bike. He's got an artisan in Stoke to hand-build a bespoke frame; he's travelled to San Francisco for the perfect wheel, from Padua to Provence to find the perfect components - parts that set the standard in reliability, craftsmanship and beauty. En route, he tells the stories of the science, history and culture of bicycles, extracting pertinent and quirky stories - the role of the bicycle in women's liberation, the marvel of the tangent-spoked wheel, the quasi-religious admiration for Fausto Coppi in Italy - that explain why we ride, and why this simple machine remains central to humanity in the 21st century.
