It's as if someone opened a map, pointed out roads and trails I didn't know, and sent me out for some two-wheeled exploring. -Jimmy Guignard, ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment -- Jimmy Guignard * ISLE * Culture on Two Wheels offers an extensive and unique analysis for anyone interested in bicycles, especially those who find interest in its use beyond technical and mechanic ability. . . .
