"As new cyclists fill the roads, they encounter their share of frustrations - careless drivers, wide-flung car doors, zoned-out pedestrians, and aggressive fellow cyclists, to name a few. In this follow-up to the best-selling Bike Snob, Eben Weiss (aka BikeSnobNYC) takes on the trials and triumphs of bike commuting with snark, humor, and enthusiasm, asking the question: If we become better commuters, will that make us better people? From the deadly sins of biking to tactics for dealing with cars, pedestrians, and other cyclists, this primer on bike travel is a must-read for cyclists new and seasoned alike. Eben Weiss is the author of Bike snob : systematically and mercilessly realigning the world of cycling. He also writes the blog Bike Snob NYC (bikesnobnyc.blogspot.ca) - Systematically and mercilessly disassembling, flushing, greasing, and re-packing the cycling culture."--Provided by publisher.
