Book ID/图书代码： 05170008B24948

English Summary/英文概要： Road rash is a precious gift.
Road rash is your friend.
Bask in it, appreciate it, love it.
Above all, learn from it.

Covering much more than just riding a bike in traffic, author Robert Hurst paints, in uncanny detail, the challenges, strategies, and art of riding a bike on America’s modern streets and roadways.
The Art of Cycling dismantles the bicycling experience and slides it under the microscope, piece by piece. Its primary concern is safety, but this book goes well beyond the usual tips and how-to, diving in to the realms of history, psychology, sociology, and economics. It empowers readers with the Big Picture of riding a bicycle in America -- and gives cyclists useful insights to consider while pedaling the next commute, grocery run, or training ride.

Awards/获奖情况："This empowering cycling book should come in the glove box of every new car sold"---Marla Streb, World Champion Downhill Mountain Bike Racer

"While it’s hard to imagine a book about [urban] cycling could fill over 250 pages, let alone strive to be a near masterpiece, that’s just what The Art of Urban Cycling: Lessons from the Street, and all-encompassing how-to book by veteran bicycling messenger Robert Hurst, has accomplished."

"With a spot-on foreword written by Luna downhiller Marla Streb and a detailed index of footnotes and bibliography, Hurst has compiled a cerebral but hip manifesto for [urban] cyclists looking to coexist in a system that has left them to fend for their lives." ---VeloNews, Journal of Competitive Cycling

"I would like to highly recommend the book "The Art of Urban Cycling: Lessons from the Street" by Robert Hurst. Not only is it delightfully written (with a sense of humour and a relaxed style) and absorbing ("just a second, dear, I’ll take out the trash after I read about curbs"), but it’s *dead on*. I’ve been riding my whole life, never having owned a car, to get everywhere from school to grocery shopping to Canada. And he’s *right*. Katherine Stange, Providence, RI---Amazon review

"There are other books about cycling that are worth reading (such as Effective Cycling by John Forester) but I think this one is the best of the bunch."---Cliff Heegel (Memphis, TN)

"The best "how to" cycling book out there. I’ve bought several copies for myself, strategically placed to rarely be far from one. Having ridden in cities for over 40 years, I still found every page, infact almost every paragraph contained a pearl. Pros and cons of controvertial issues are presented, and with excellent references, making the author’s recommendations so much more authoritative."---Hansel de Sousa (Bethlehem, PA)
