I Love My Bent

I ride a bent, mostly because I'm too fat for a regular bike. I was hit by a car once and now I have a lumpy leg.Did you know on a bent, you can ride and eat a donut?Yum!I loved the book, I hope they make a movie!

I love it!

I got an advance copy because an essay by me is inside it. It's a collection of 60 personal essays submitted to a contest (no I didn't win), and they are all wonderful. As a person who loves bikes this outpouring of love is more than heatwarming, it's almost overwhelming. Honestly, many of the essays moved me to tears.I don't know exactly what a non-cyclist would make of these bicycle true confessions, but if anyone you know loves bikes you can safely give them this book for their birthday or X-mas.
