""This is a wonderful book that captures the breadth and depth of the sport and experience of cycling. A great tour of the mental, physical, cultural, and historical paths a bicycle can travel." Michael Weiss, Chair, Tour of Missouri Professional Bicycle Race Owner, Big Shark Bicycle Company" ""Cycling - Philosophy for Everyone reminds its readers of the joy, freedom, and accomplishment one feels when riding a bicycle... I found myself fondly recalling the new bike I received for Christmas that first provided freedom from my parents' oversight and produced a liberating sensation that I was the master of my domain as I explored Chicago as a 10-year-old. You too will reconnect to bicycling in ways you never expected long before you reach the last page." Tom Zoumaras, former Masters National Champion (1997 & 1998). Professor of History, Truman State University" "The bicycle has been described as the most perfect of human inventions and its ability to inspire cannot be underrated - after all, Einstein claimed that the theory of relativity came to him whilst cycling. And so bicycling and philosophy create the perfect tandem; both teach us to confront realities about the world and ourselves, and to pursue lofty ideals." "Cycling - Philosophy for Everyone explores in a fun but critical way the rich philosophical, cultural, and existential experiences that arise when two wheels are propelled by human energy."--BOOK JACKET.
