★★★★☆
Funny and appropriately snarky, Bike Snob by heretofore unknown to me blogger BikeSnobNYC pulls back the curtain on the insular, mysterious, and often ridiculous world of cycling in a loose, conversational manner that's thoroughly enjoyable. While I think everyone can take something away from this quick read, its objective to demythologize the act of riding a bike makes it perfect for cycling neophytes, the cycling curious, and the too-serious know-it-alls that could stand to lighten up a bit. But where I really hope this book finds an audience is with determined non-cyclists who mistrust or downright loathe all things bike. Bike Snob's self-lampooning approach makes it the perfect vehicle for changing the hearts and minds of car drivers and bike haters of all types. With enough exposure, this book could change the way the average American views bikes, cyclists, and the roads we all need to share.
