MIKE MAGNUSON, author of Lummox: The Evolution of Man and Heft on Wheels: A Field Guide to Doing a 180, knows whereof he writes. A longtime writer with Bicycling magazine, he is a cyclist's writer.
His latest work, Bike Tribes, is a guide to the various "tribes" of cyclists that populate the landscape in the US.
Magnuson spoofs the tattooed messengers, gear (clothing) obsessed, twee urban hipsters, and cranky bike shop owners.
Tongue-in-cheek, he taxonomizes the habits, clothing, preferences, and preconceived ideas of cyclists.
A funny and welcome addition to the cycling literary genre.
