Bikeman -- An Epic Poem
https://bikeman1.com/index.html
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I read this book from the local library. It was a fascinating account, in poetry form, of a journalist who rode his bicycle down to Ground Zero right after the first plane struck the World Trade Center. He barely escaped the towers' collapse. A fellow survivor, noting the author still had hold of his bicycle when they emerged from the rubble, nicknamed him "Bikeman".
