4.9/5 (15048 ratings)

Description:This is the first issue of the Bicycle Reader, a new collection of quality writing about cycling. Two thoughts inspired us to start this collection. The first is that there is a great deal of brilliant article and essay-length writing about cycling that remains inaccessible to most readers. Some of it languishes out of print. Other pieces appeared in publications read by only a tiny minority of cyclists.The second is that Kindles and other eBook readers are the natural companion of cyclists. They are light enough to fit unobtrusively in the saddle bag and have a battery life capable of providing reading material on even the most sustained odyssey.In this issue, which runs to 20,000 words, are ten articles written at various moments over the past 130 years, from the very earliest days of the bicycle right up to today. Some are lighthearted, some demand deeper engagement. Mark Twain’s account of taming the bicycle is a classic, Violet Paget will leave you with an urge to head for the hills and Russ Roca will convince you why it’s never too late to discover the bicycle and what a life changing discovery it can be. In Albert Winstanley and Paul Lamarra’s contributions you will find more than mere fireside reflections on pleasurable days awheel. The best writing has the capacity to enrich the experience of cycling itself. And should you be in danger of becoming a cyclomaniac, ‘Rusticus’, writing in 1879, tenders a rebuke that still holds true today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
