Why read it?
1 author picked Bicycle as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the most compelling parts of this gem of a book are Adam Thompsonās immaculate line drawings that capture the artfulness, and beautiful simplicity, at the heart of a bicycle rideātheir white space pulls you in and invites you to imagine the landscape and circumstances around them.
Bicycles, and the paths they forge, take many shapes, but in the hands of Fattaruso and Thompson those shapes take center stage, and the essence of bicycling shines.
Itās a lovely interlude that always makes me nostalgic for riding a single speed on a rural road at the height of summer.
From Evan's list on the beautiful act of bicycling.
