Until a little over a year ago I didn't know how to ride a bike. I always dreamt of being car free and knew that I'd have to learn in order to make it a reality. What I didn't realize was how fun it would be! While riding around Portland I came across a great little zine/book shop called Microcosm and found this gem of a book.I like riding so much that I decided to go on a bike tour. I felt it mandatory to learn more than just how to fix a flat if I was to take on such an endeavor. Imagine my excitement to find a manual that was obviously geared for individuals interested in diy culture. The first half leads you through bike parts and how to fix them while the second half reprints several of the Chainbreaker zines. It's co-written by Shelly Lynn Jackson and Ethan Clark. Clark even includes the best resume known to mankind - one in the form of a comic. Definitely worth the $12.
