Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A panoramic revisionist portrait of the nineteenth-century invention that is transforming the twenty-first-century worldExcellent . . . calls to mind Bill Bryson, John McPhee, Rebecca Solnit.The New York Times Book Review (Editors Choice)ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New YorkerThe bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly at odds with our age of smartphones and ride-sharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bikeand nearly everyone does.In Two Wheels Good, journalist and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanitys life and dream lifeand a flash point in culture warsfor more than two hundred years. Combining history, reportage, travelogue, and memoir, Rosens book sweeps across centuries and around the globe, unfolding the bicycles saga from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a green machine, an emblem of sustainability in a world afflicted by pandemic and climate change. Readers meet unforgettable characters: feminist rebels who steered bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a prospector who pedaled across the frozen Yukon to join the Klondike gold rush, a Bhutanese king who races mountain bikes in the Himalayas, a cycle-rickshaw driver who navigates the seething streets of the worlds fastest-growing megacity, astronauts who ride a floating bicycle in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station.Two Wheels Good examines the bicycles past and peers into its future, challenging myths and cliches while uncovering cyclings connection to colonial conquest and the gentrification of cities. But the book is also a love letter: a reflection on the sensual and spiritual pleasures of bike riding and an ode to an engineering marvela wondrous vehicle whose passenger is also its engine. Two Wheels Good examines the bicycle's past and peers into its future, challenging myths and clichs while uncovering cycling's connection to colonial conquest and the gentrification of cities. But the book is also a love letter: a reflection on the sensual and spiritual pleasures of bike riding and an ode to an engineering marvel--a wondrous vehicle whose passenger is also its engine.
