2 people, so far. Although I guess now it's 3.

I got this as a Christmas present, but I've read very little of it. It seems pretty cool so far.

only 3? then you dudes (and dudettes) are in for a ****in' treat! read this!! you'll thank me!!

Sounds like another urban tough guy book. Still not sure why riding in an urban environment is supposed to be a big deal.

Anything fixed specific in it?

It's not. The description makes it seem that way, but it's very sensible and level-headed, even humorous sometimes. He simply explains the dangers present while cycling in an urban environment and explains practical ways to stay safe. He actually debunks a lot of misconceptions that lead people to think that urban cycling is so dangerous. If only more people read this book (especially non-cyclists), maybe there would be more cyclists out there and we'd all get more respect.

i kid ya'll not--this book's the jam! turn off your tv for once and read a book tonight why doncha!!

i've flipped through it at powell's (why do i drool every time i write/say the word "powell's"? ah, there i go again....).

anyway, it's good. it's on my (far too long to ever be accomplished) "buy this book" list.

hey human! duder! move it to the tippytop of your list! i was underlinin' stuff in it it's so good. underlinin' stuff to quote to you cats, but there's greatness on every page so you just have to read it yourselves. really. go and get it now and you will thank me! mad thank me for recommendin' it. anyone who's not out ridin' and is readin' this should step away from the computer and go get this book!! licketysplit!!!!

huh, well...i'll take another look at it. a lot of it was stuff i knew already, but i can think of others who might need to read it, and there are definitely chapters i need to read and/or re-read. but yeah, it did look good.

+1

i've flipped through it. it's got some really good advice. the essay on helmets was interesting, too.

+1

(I've read the book. You should, too.)

we had to choose a text around which to make our senior graphic design project. my friend chose excerpts from this book. it was pretty fun going out taking pictures of me almost getting hit by ******* drivers (you don't have to look very far to find them around here). I haven't read it all, but what I've seen seems pretty sensible and I agree, drivers should read more stuff like this.

Alice Cooper's a messenger? Wearing knee and elbow pads.

wow, I'm going to have to get this. : )

+1, or anything about cycling....

tonight, almost getting hit by a tow truck running a red with its headlights off was the worst. *******.
