Heft on wheels
 

Good book!
just finished it last night. I'm not much of a reader but I couldn't put it down. Now I have to find something topic related to keep me away from the video games...

I also enjoyed the book, it was a great read and inspiring without being preachy or technical. I have lost some "heft" since reading the book but I'm still a Clydesdale. I subscribe to Livestrong.com and use "The Daily Plate" to sort of watch my intake and calorie burn. I would love to find a little more inspiration and motivation to get out and do more.

Read it in 2004. It started my journey back on the bike. My life and Mike's had a very parallel tracks. The only difference was his vocation was academia. But we both shared the late night binges with colleges, fatty foods to settle the stomach and Marlboros.

But that probably describes half the users here on BF...

Loved it. Great cover.
Now go find "Ten Points" and "The Rider" and you'll be in bike book heaven.

incorrect. tedious book.

+1 for Ten Points, +100000000000000 for The Rider.

just ordered Ten Points, The Rider and Misunderstood life of a Rodie. Of coarse amazon says I only ordered 2 but my wife says it will show up when I check it out tomorrow. We'll see.

Haven't read Ten Points yet, but the other two are amazing.

I got them both for Christmas, and finished them both within a week. I couldn't put Misunderstood Life down. I'm going to start lending it to family and friends, so maybe they will understand me better...

When I'm hurting in an interval, or climbing in a group, I think about The Rider, and I upshift and push it harder.
