Den første selvbiografi fra den tredobbelte verdensmester i landevejscykling Peter Sagan. Fra 2015 til 2017 vandt Peter Sagan verdensmesterskabet i cykling tre gange i træk. I sig selv en umulig bedrift. Ingen anden cykelrytter har formået at vinde den regnbuefarvede trøje tre gange i træk. Denne bedrift har gjort Peter Sagan til en af cykelsportens absolut største navne. Peter Sagans bedrift er kun en del af historien. Peter Sagan elsker ikke kun at vinde. Han elsker også at underholde. Cykelentusiaster over hele verden elsker ham for det. De jubler, når han han laver en “wheelie” og krydser mållinien på kun et hjul eller laver sjov på en af de mest besværlige stigninger på Mount Ventoux. Hans skæve smil og underfundige kommentarer til pressemøderne er værdsat og elsket af journalister. I bogen beretter Sagan med egne ord om opvækst, familieliv, træningsprogrammer og de store sejre, han har vundet. Hans tid sammen med Bjarne Riis og den russiske rigmand Oleg Tinkoff kommer han også ind på.

Danmark er en af de mest cykelglade nationer i verden – faktisk har 9 ud af 10 danskere en cykel. Hvis du er en af de cyklister, der drømmer om en original og anderledes cykel, går ind for genbrug frem for brug-og-smid-væk og samtidig kan lide at bruge dine hænder, så er dette bogen, du har ventet på. Dette er den ultimative guide til dig, som vil i gang med at bygge din egen cykel! Her er udførlige beskrivelser og billeder af, hvordan værktøjet fungerer, hvor og hvordan man finder de rigtige reservedele, hvilke elementer en cykel er bygget op af, samt hvordan man skiller og samler den fra A-Z. Den selvlærte cykelbygger Christian Rindorf taler ud fra mange års erfaring. Med masser af tips i posen og et glimt i øjet tager han dig i hånden og guider dig gennem junglen af værktøj og cykledele. Mange flotte billeder viser på en overskuelig måde, hvordan du kan forvandle selv det mest forældede cykellig til en funklende flot, ny cykel hjemme i din egen stue. Alle kan være med, uanset køn, alder eller baggrund. Og alle kan lave deres egen cykel derhjemme, uanset om man bor på et kammer eller i en kæmpe villa. Bogen er en slags ‘kogebog’ for cykler, hvor den glade amatør kan begynde, og den mere erfarne kan hente yderligere inspiration. Om forfatteren Christian Rindorf er musiker, skolelærer og selvlært cykelbygger. Han uddanner sig i dag til bygningssnedker. Han har skruet på og arbejdet med cykler i mange år og er absolut autodidakt, hvilket underbygger bogens relevans for den almindelige amatør. Christian har undervejs fået mange gode råd og vejledning af forskellige cykelsmede, og han deler gavmildt ud af sin viden i bogen.

"Michael Valgren" Danmark har de senere år fostret en lang række særdeles dygtige cykelryttere, der har gjort sig flot bemærket i flere udenlandske, store løb. Således også i Tour de France, hvor Michael Valgren efterhånden med de fem deltagelser, kan betragtes som "veteran". Inden Valgrens helt store gennembrud for få år siden udkom hans biografi, forfattet af Rasmus Bech, og i denne kommer man bagom den tidligere "tykke" dreng fra folkeskolens baggrund for dennes opstigen til cykelrytter i verdenstoppen. Legimus og Rasmus Bech har valgt at sende bogen på gaden igen, da interessen for Valgren ikke er blevet mindre med årene.

Crossing Bridges: What Biking Up the East Coast Taught Me About Life After 60"One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now."-Paulo CoelhoAt fifty-eight, Lisa Watts felt restless. She had built a carefully balanced life of work and play, but it all seemed to add up to a life of mediocrity. She and a dear friend headed out to bike from Key West to Canada, a trip she'd dreamed of taking for decades. Those two months on the road offered a time of transition, teaching her mostly that she doesn't have to live as an armchair traveler through life's third act.In this engaging travel memoir, Watts shares essays about friendship, marriage, self-doubt, and more. Her aim: to nudge others out the door to go do that thing they've always wanted to do.

In "Two Wheels and Two Feet: Cities Embracing Change," Robert Ornig takes us on a transformative journey through the world's cities as they evolve and adapt to the pressing needs of our time. From bustling metropolises to quiet towns, discover how communities are turning to bicycles and their own two feet, moving away from a car-dominated past.

"Two Wheels and Two Feet: Cities Embracing Change" isn't just a title; it's a manifesto, an invitation, and a reflection of the transformation we witness in the world around us.I had the pleasure of first meeting Robert Ornig during a city planning conference in Amsterdam, a city where bicycles rule and cars are mere guests. The passion with which Robert spoke of the potential for urban change, for a world where streets are reclaimed by the people, was infectious. I knew then that his observations and insights needed to be shared with the world.This book isn't just about urban planning or transportation. At its heart, it's about humanity's innate desire for connection - with each other, with our environment, and with the future we envision for ourselves. Through the intricate web of stories and analyses that Robert weaves, we are compelled to see our cities not as they are, but as they could be.In a world striving for sustainable change, amidst the chaos of traffic jams and the cacophony of honking horns, the solution might just lie in the quiet whirr of bicycle chains and the soft patter of footsteps. As you delve into the pages of this masterpiece, I hope you find not just information, but inspiratio

A captivating account of the first South to North crossing of the Australian continent on a bicycle, in 1897. "Then the bicycle, loaded now for the expedition, was lifted downstairs; I shook hands with the landlady, told her I might not be back for tea and not to keep it waiting, and quietly pedalled away..." This is how, without any sponsor, and almost no one knowing about his plan, that Jerome Murif departed from Adelaide with the firm intent to reach Port Darwin, more than 3,000 km (1,900 miles) away, and be the first to cross the Australian continent by bicycle from South to North. He did so with very little food and gear, and at a time when roads were non-existent, on a bicycle that didn't have gears or brakes. Far from the speed record attempts, Murif did his crossing at a leisurely pace, even taking time to tour the Alice Springs region on the way. This account of his journey, first published in 1897, is based heavily on his own diary; it is full of humor and captivating from the first word to the last.

Cycling is not just a form of locomotion. Bike culture is in constant interaction with fashion, music, design, politics and urban planning. Cycling is a way of life and a form of protest. The Easy Rider Road Book shows the wild, subversive side of cycling and the powerful bond it can create between people. It aims to inspire utopian thinking and show where the bike can take us. The pioneers of this new bike culture can be found in subcultures across the globe. In New York and Berlin, bike punks are building both fantastic and sustainable vehicles out of scrap metal and old bike frames. Riding a bike is a form of emancipation: When thousands of teenagers ride through London during BikeStormz, they are expressing their hope for a better future. Similarly, the Chilangos Lowbike Club's Sunday rides through Mexico City are a symbol against violence. The bicycle is a promise of freedom. This book presents the bicycle as a vehicle for communal action that has the potential to change life in the city and, ultimately, the city itself.The MUSUKU, MUSEUM OF SUBCULTURES, is a Berlin-based project of artists and creatives. IT aims to reflect the enormous relevance of subcultures, to give space to their narratives, and to be a place of experimentation, discussion and discourse. The projects are conceived in collaboration with a diverse community as temporary exhibitions in changing venues as well as in the open street.

A guide to using ebikes as a viable mode of transport for saving money as well as health and fitness. I have been road cycling since 2007 and bought a Giant Quick E electric bicycle in 2019 so I have had some experience in cycling before I had an ebike. But even then I made a lot of mistakes. Ebikes are definitely cheaper than cars as a means of commuting but its not as much of a slam dunk as what you would think, they are definitely more expensive than non assisted bikes. Learn from my mistakes and knowledge to save you making your own expensive mistakes. If I can help you get the most out of electric bicycles then I will consider this book a success.

Two Wheels Good examines the bicycle's past and peers into its future, challenging myths and clicéhs 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.

Most long distance travelers carry something they depend on, their anchor, their foundation. For some it is their faith in God, others dig down into their inner depths. Some count on their physical conditioning, family, friends, or providence. On Amos's four thousand five hundred mile bicycle trip across these United States, three things served as his sustenance: Beer, Ice cream, and Benevolence.In the summer approaching his 55th birthday, Amos embarked on a 4,500 mile, self-supported, solo bicycle ride from his home in Vermont.
