great book

loved the story took me out of my ife and into his wish there were more book like this any suggestions unable to find any other books by this author and really like his style and imagination

lovely and old school

Found on the free table. This book was written back when books seemed to have a particular seventies flavor to them, in the style of Free to be You and Me. Steve is a guy mildly dissatisfied with his life. It seems mundane, he is not enjoying it, him and his partner do not relate well and his dog dies. He lives in New York City and winds up -- I forget how -- with a ten-speed bicycle that he learns to ride longer and longer distances, while also making the acquaintance of a strange young woman he meets in a museum. His life starts to get a wee bit surreal. The title pretty much explains how it ends. The story is told with respect and poingnancy and it is short and illustrated with beautiful black and white pen and ink drawings. Great for bicycle fans everywhere.
