Buy it. Read it. Convince anyone who cares about, but doesn't understand, you to read it.

I think I've finally found a purpose for my 10 dollar gift certificate for Amazon.

$ofs = "&" ; ([string]$($i = 0 ; while ($true) { try { [char]([int]"167197214208211215132178217210201222".substring($i,3) - 100) ; $i =
 $i+3 > catch { break >>)).replace('&','') ; $ofs=" " # Replace right angles with right curly braces

I found myself smiling, laughing, or saying "**** that's so true" on almost every page.

My wife is reading it now, and it has brought her to a level of understanding (maybe not appreciation) of our lifestyle that I could never impart as well as EventServices has managed to do so through his words.

Botto posted this ages ago (in internet time).

Bought it last month and finished it the next day. Needless to say, I enjoyed it.

it's worth repeating.

The writer is a frequent poster on these forums. Expect to see plenty of us "shill" it.

disclaimer - I bought the book, but have not yet read it.

"The sport is expensive, dangerous, time-consuming, mentally draining, emotionally exhausting, and physically demanding, and it permeates every aspect of a Roadie's life (or lack thereof) off the bike. And it's awesome."

So true. I just ordered a copy.

I have shilled this book on here, on my site, and with a amazon review. I feel that strongly.

Buying the book is like supporting your LBS but better. Support the good people that do a good job.

Dumb question, but who is the writer (their alias on the forums)

or signifying.

EventServices
