"No matter what or how you ride, read this book and remind yourself just how enjoyable cycling can and should be."--Eben Weiss, author of The Enlightened Cyclist

Just Ride is a revelation. Forget the ultralight, uncomfortable bikes, flashy jerseys, clunky shoes that clip onto tiny pedals, the grinding out of endless miles. Instead, ride like you did when you were a kid--just get on your bike and discover the pure joy of riding it.

A reformed racer who's commuted by bike every day since 1980, whose writings and opinions appear in major bicycling and outdoor magazines, and whose company, Rivendell Bicycle Works, makes bikes for riders ready to opt out of a culture overrun by racing, Grant Petersen shares a lifetime of unexpected facts, controversial opinions, expert techniques, and his own maverick philosophy.

In 87 short, two-to-three page chapters, it covers:
  • Riding: Count Days, Not Miles; Corner Like Jackie Robinson; Steer with Your Hips, Shift with Your Legs
  • Suiting Up: The Shoes Ruse; Ponchos--the Ultimate Unracer's Garment
  • Safety: #1 Rule--Be Seen; Helmets Aren't All They're Cracked Up to Be
  • Health and Fitness: Why Riding Is Lousy All-Around Exercise; Saddles Don't Cause Impotence; Drink When You're Thirsty--Not Before


Also includes chapters on Accessories, Upkeep, and Technicalities, and a final chapter titled "Velosophy" that includes the essential, memorable thought: Your Bike Is a Toy--Have Fun with It.

Daily tasks in a wonderfully sacred light!
Format: Imitation Leather
Wow! This is a wonderful way to remember that every moment is holy and should be honored. Well written! The illustrations are so good. I only wish there were twenty volumes instead of just 3!

An aid to the Bible to walk out Gods will for your life.
Format: Imitation Leather
What a great book and addition to the volume series. When I first received my first volume some 2 years ago from my daughter and her pastor husband I thought it would just be another good self help book. Little did I know how God would use this series in every aspect, action and event of my life and how every moment and thought is a given chance by God to honor, worship and bring praise to the glory of His grace. Other than the Bible, I recommend above all other books to make it the guide and manual of how you walk out the Christian life in light of “Every Moment being Holy.”

Must have resource for Christians.
Getting the kindle version of this book was such a good choice! It’s nice to have it on my phone so that I can take screenshots and share prayers with friends. This collection is so wonderful and I’m really thankful that the rabbit room continues to produce more volumes.

Great to give as gifts
Format: Imitation Leather
While I have enjoyed this book myself I think it's most valuable as a gift. I keep several on hand and give them out to friends when we meet up and it goes over really well.
