This book wants to take you back to the thrill of your first ride. To the joy of riding a bike, whether it's actually your first ride or your going on your daily commute.This book includes a history of the bicycle (velocipedes and penny-farthings included) as well as information for the modern day rider. All of this is done in an entertaining but rather shallow manner (none of the information is super-in-depth.) However, the information is fairly wide-ranging up to and including the obvious how to pick out a bike and wearing helmets to how to upcycle various bike parts and yoga for biking.
It wasn't the book described but it was a fast and fun read.
Three and a half stars
