Celebrate the feelings that connect us rather than outmoded traditions that divide us. Written by Peter Flax, acclaimed journalist and former editor in chief of Bicycling magazine, Live to Ride is a visually stunning manifesto on the unifying power of the bicycle. While it's typical for riders to feel that they belong to different subcultures-racers, fitness enthusiasts, devoted commuters, wheelie kids, and mountain bikers-isn't it better to stand together? The bicycle is one of the greatest inventions in human history, and despite some superficial differences, we all ride for a handful of profoundly beautiful reasons: adventure, access to nature, an avenue of self-expression, the simple joys of speed, a chance to test ourselves. Accept the interconnectedness and help empower a community that will make riding more fun, more inclusive, more transformative, and more meaningful. To change the world-and yourself-for the better.
