Book Tour

Legacy Village, Lyndhurst on Saturday, October 11 at 2 p.m.

Dear PSU Alumni of Cleveland,

I'm a Penn State graduate and I'll be in your neck of the woods soon to discuss and sign my new book, bicycling anthology. It's been a long time since I rode my old green Schwinn Varsity between classes at University Park (sometimes wiping out on the ice, I'll admit!). I'm tickled to be doing the final stop of a 10-month, nationwide book tour at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Legacy Village, Lyndhurst, on Saturday, October 11 at 2 p.m.

I am the editor of (and contributor to) The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom & Wanderings, a collection of articles, stories and cartoons from a talented corps of 25 writers and cartoonists, including a Pulitzer Prize winner and cartoonists whose work has appeared in an array of leading publications--Discover, Dirt Rag, Reader's Digest, The New Yorker, Boys' Life, Forbes, the Washington Post and Oregon Cyclist. The book also features an exclusive interview with Chris Carmichael, Lance Armstrong's long-time coach and friend, and the musings of Dirt Rag publisher, Maurice Tierney, and Bike Culture founder, Richard Fries. It's a tribute to bicycling by those who love to ride.
