A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS:
As an avid recreational biker for most of my life, I loved this book. Full of required information but lots of creative ideas too, Hello, Bicycle is perfect for the experienced or new biker. The included recipes gave me some new options for our protein-packed jar meals on those longer rides, and the nostalgia of inserting playing cards in the spokes for that added clicking noise was so fun! (I am sure my kids will love it when I put some in my wheels for the next ride, LOL). Great as a gift or wonderful for your own use, this book is certainly a necessity in the world of biking.
RATING:
5 (out of 5) pennies
*I received a complimentary copy of Hello, Bicycle from Blogging For Books for my honest review*
I remember using cards on my bike as a kid. To me back then, it was like music.
I also remember the colored straws we put on the spokes to make more noise as we rode. Fun!!
