I like bikes. ( ) Grungey photo collection, seemingly inspired by the once-humble (now almost fetishized) bicycle. And those shown are spotless: no mudguards (or mud), light frames that you can flip over your shoulder with one finger. Actually, the people featured, with their terrible tattoos and studied poses, are mostly more interesting than their bikes. The American townscapes too are evocative. The text is a bit soupy, but fortunately there’s not much of it, the wacky typefaces trying to compensate a little for the lack of content. “I Love My Bike” maybe; this collection has a bit more “I love myself” ... no reviews | add a review

Sure, it takes willpower, strength, and grit, but at its core, being on a bike is all about rejoicing in the greatest transportational invention in history.I Love My Bike is a photographic celebration of the grand kinship of bicycles, a bond shared by millions of people around the world. This distinctive and affordable coffee table book for cyclists collects the best of the stories, photographs, and bicycles encountered by the authors during numerous cross-country photo-journaling trips.

With gorgeous full-color photos on every spread,I Love My Bike delivers the trifecta of awesome for any cyclist: cool people, cool photos, and really, really cool bikes.
