Two Wheels Good: The History and Mystery of the Bicycle
Jody Rosen (Author)
“Two Wheels Good takes the form of bricolage, blending meticulous historical research, local reporting from bicycle-dependent locales like Bhutan and Bangladesh and personal memories . . . . The book excels across all of them and, in its curious, mingled character, calls to mind Bill Bryson, John McPhee, Rebecca Solnit–obsessives, for whom the material world and their own infinitesimal presence within it constitute the most natural subject of artistic inquiry.”–The New York Times Book Review
