" Bike Snob NYC - Manifesto for a new universal order of bicilcetta "is the first book of blogger Eben Weiss. The book is a funny and ironic insight into the world of cycling in all its meanings.
The first chapter from the history of cycling and results in a hilarious Velotassonomia
where no type of cyclist is spared
- Runner
- The mountain biker
- cyclocross The triathlete
- The cyclist metropolitan
- The messenger
- Beautiful Godzilla
- The retro grouch
- The cyclist virtuoso
- The Lone Wolf
- Captain trabbicolo
The book then continues with "the law of the road" with a careful, but always fun, study of all the dangers they run on a bicycle to go to the gentrification of the bicycle, and the myth of the culture of cycling.
Finally, the third part is devoted to what he calls "advanced cycling" or maintenance, the physical good that makes the use of bicycles and eventually a handbook of Bon Ton for non-cyclists.
One of his favorite targets is the fashion, whatever it is, which is rampant in the cycling world, the fashion of messenger bags (I also have one), the fashion of a fixed gear bike, fashion did not have brakes The fashion did not have wings (and if you use the bike all day for travel ii understand it is stupid).
The book is hilarious, can be understood nicely lays bare all the psychosis of cyclists, but also brings a strong incentive to use the bicycle as a real means of transport, must be read as cyclists especially if one takes a bit 'too seriously or if you are new.
Ciclista (noun) - Someone who uses the bike even when it has a duty to do so, but he loves to ride more than he loves the tools necessary to do so.
