It’s All About the Bike: the Pursuit of Happiness on Two Wheels
13 July 2010
From the artisan in Stoke-on-Trent who hand-built his frame to the men who invented mountain biking in California, from Portland to Milan by way of Coventry, birthplace of the modern bicycle, this is the story of our love affair with cycling. Nick Crane described it as a 'book as brilliant as the invention it celebrates. A wonderful read.’
Robert has ridden a bike most days of his adult life, covering over forty countries on five continents. In his late 20s, he pedalled 40,000 kilometres around the world. As a journalist, he writes for the Financial Times, Observer and Condé Nast Traveller, as well as a host of cycling publications.
It's All About the Bike is published by Particular Books/Penguin on 29 July 2010.
