Synopsis
A visual celebration of the beauty and lure of bicycle culture by renowned cycling journalist Peter Flax Live to Ride is an ode to cycling from one of the world's most respected cycling journalists. The bicycle is one of the greatest inventions in human history. It can literally transport you to places you want to go--to your school or office, to the summit of a local hilltop, to some objective in your pursuit of fitness--but it can do more than that. A bicycle can also transport you to an entirely different mindset, a place where you can embrace the unexpected and live in the moment. People are drawn to riding for many of the same reasons--to test themselves, find themselves, and express themselves. To find some peace and beauty. To inject fun and adventure into their busy lives. Live to Ride is an illustrated gift book for those who love to bike. It's for every type of cyclist--from mountain bikers, to commuters, to tourers and triathletes and beach cruisers and bikepackers and messengers. To wheelie kids, to vintage bike collectors. Author, Peter Flax, a celebrated cycling journalist, is here to show us that cycling should be inclusive--that all riders are connected in various, yet similar, ways. Organized by theme, each one exploring what Flax believes are the shared reasons that people ride: Adventure, Speed, Utility, Nature, Competition, and Self-Expression. Within each chapter are interviews and profiles with a diverse list of famed riders, both legendary and contemporary. Also included is the ultimate destination ride, with a map, based on that chapter's theme; and insider info like the one perfect bike; and essential gear that a rider needs to be in the know about. Modern and sleek in its design, and filled with a mix of photography and illustration, this is both a book any rider will cherish for years to come., Celebrate the feelings that connect us rather than outmoded traditions that divide us. Written by Peter Flax, acclaimed journalist and former editor in chief of Bicycling magazine, Live to Ride is a visually stunning manifesto on the unifying power of the bicycle. While it's typical for riders to feel that they belong to different subcultures-racers, fitness enthusiasts, devoted commuters, wheelie kids, and mountain bikers-isn't it better to stand together? The bicycle is one of the greatest inventions in human history, and despite some superficial differences, we all ride for a handful of profoundly beautiful reasons: adventure, access to nature, an avenue of self-expression, the simple joys of speed, a chance to test ourselves. Accept the interconnectedness and help empower a community that will make riding more fun, more inclusive, more transformative, and more meaningful. To change the world-and yourself-for the better.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
