Critics Review
“Graphic artist Zammit’s enthusiasm for all things bicycle dances across every colorful, hand-drawn and hand-lettered page, alternately explaining and encouraging, everywhere illustrating bike anatomy, how to choose a bike, adjustments, basic repairs, cycling apparel, and more… . If Lennard Zinn’s classic Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance is the big dog among bike repair manuals, consider Zammit’s book a playful puppy.” – Library Journal
“A charming new book… contains an impressive amount of useful information presented in a lighthearted and attractive way.” – PEZ Cycling News
“Congenially cartooned and handwritten, this guide covers virtually all facets of riding a bicycle, from parts of the bike to types of bikes (multipurpose, utility, fast, leisure), finding a bike that fits, choosing saddles, biking pains and their causes and corrections, accessories, making repairs, navigating city traffic, and more. The author is realistic about the limitations of the bike to solve the world’s environmental problems, yet he extols its low cost to own and operate, its health benefits, its ability to connect riders to their communities, its utter practicality and reliability. While text and illustrations are utilitarian in their dispensing of information, Zammit has a sly humor.” – Booklist
“This is a fantastic book on the many details of a positive bike life. More than just an excellent repair manual, the author also makes cycling feel inclusive: From the language and images, to the explanations and tricks of the trade, this is a book for all ages, all abilities, all backgrounds, and all walks of life. Highly recommended!” – Bob Giordano, founder and executive director, Free Cycles Missoula community cycle shop
