review 1: Ok, este es un libro que toda persona que quiera una ciudad más amigable con la bicicleta debe leer. Desde la multiplicidad de opiniones (50 capítulos escritos por distintas personas) hasta la de ideas, este libro es un must para cualquier ciclista, no siendo el típico libro " la bicicleta es cool" sino que el aporte a la multi-modalidad de destinos es cool. Hasta ideas de negocios pueden sacarse.Totalmente recomendable!!
review 2: This book's so good that I wrote some of it! But seriously, this is a wide-ranging collection of essays both personal and erudite about what bicycling means, how it relates to an examined life and an anxious planet, and above all how to do it in style. Wisdom, advice, musings and digressions, a touch of revolutionary spirit and ... morea ton of encouragement and good advice. Much of it is written by Momentum Magazine contributors (hello!), and super-editor Amy Walker has five or six nice essays in there herself.It's also a gorgeously designed and illustrated bon-bon of a paperback. The cover photo doesn't clue you in that the corners are sanded to a nice roundness, the better to weather a trip in your pannier squooshed against your bouncing groceries. Looks good on a shelf, fits nicely in the hands. If you're trying to convince yourself or someone else to become a bicyclist, this book is the help you need. If you've been biking for ages, you'll sympathize with the authors. If you're a car, you'll probably just explode. less
