Summary:
Robert Penn has saddled up nearly every day of his adult life. In his late twenties, he pedaled 25,000 miles around the world. Today he rides to get to work, sometimes for work, to bathe in air and sunshine, to travel, to go shopping, to stay sane, and to skip bath time with his kids. He'
s
no Sunday pedal pusher. So when the time came for a new
bike
, he decided to pull out
all
the stops. He would build his dream
bike
, the
bike
he would ride for the rest of his life; a customized machine that reflects the joy of cycling."It'
s
All
About
the
Bike
"follows Penn'
s
journey, but this book is more than the story of his hunt for two-wheel perfection. En route, Penn brilliantly explores the culture, science, and history of the bicycle. From artisanal frame shops in the United Kingdom to California, where he finds the perfect
wheels
, via Portland, Milan, and points in between, his trek follows the serpentine path of our love affair with cycling.
