5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me want to ride my bike 18 Oct 2011
By mykle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
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 a 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, it will make you honk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biking away 19 Oct 2011
By Laurent F. Rains - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A wonderful compendium about cycling culture and the place of bicycles in our own culture, "On Bicycles" collects winning essays ranging from choosing a bicycle shop to dressing stylish while you are riding. Amy Walker has done a great job of picking top notch writers for this latest project. It is important to note that "On Bicycles" does not focus on the recreational rider, but rather on practical advise for incorporating the bicycle into your daily life. If you would like to use your bicycle as part of your day to day transportation options you should check out this book, if you already ride your bike around town you will find great tips and great essays.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! 22 Oct 2011
By Nate D. Perry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is future focused, optimistic, and will make you want to ride! I'm fascinated by bike culture and its numerous views. Amy Walker keeps it fresh and upbeat. This is breath of fresh air considering I drive AND bike, and am not interested in whining about either group. Its is a compilation of sorts with numerous contributors that really add dimension to the publication as a whole. Its a great read for experienced riders as well as someone who is just getting started and needs some inspiration.
