{"product_id":"bicycle-love-garth-battista-9781891369452","title":"Bicycle Love: Stories of Passion, Joy, and Sweat","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll athletes love their sports, but cycling has a fetishistic side to it--the love of this deceptively simple machine that allows you to silently float, race and climb. These 50 essays on the many varieties of bicycle love range from dreamy reminiscences of childhood bikes to powerful, sometimes insane adult attachments to mountain bikes, road bikes and tandems. They all celebrate the freedom of cycling, the elegance of the machine and the beauty of the act. The characters are everyone from a teenage girl on a moun-tain bike to old men crossing the country on touring bikes to couples falling in love while cycling. Funny, revealing and intensely emotional, these stories show the secret inner life of every cyclist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garth Battista\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1891369458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781891369452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Breakaway Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Garth Battista","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153859555583,"sku":"9781891369452","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a7a799b-fd72-4440-8688-a9c5988621de.jpg?v=1770786315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bicycle-love-garth-battista-9781891369452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
