Table of ContentsReviewsIn this playful (and playfully illustrated) little book, deftly translated by Fagan, a French anthropologist expounds on his love of cycling. On a bicycle, he asserts, 'you become someone else, and yet you are yourself as never before.' . . . The bicycle . . . is a tool for the realization of humanism. . . . His argument is fast and incautious; he's freewheeling and having great fun. --Joe Mungo Reed New York Times Book Review """A rewarding read. . . . There are, after all, ways to reclaim our connection to the places where we live starting now. As Auge writes in conclusion, 'A return to utopia, a return to what is real--they are the same. Get on your bike to improve everyone's life!'""-- ""Bay Bicyclist"" ""In this playful (and playfully illustrated) little book, deftly translated by Fagan, a French anthropologist expounds on his love of cycling.
