The Snob's stuff is fun in the essay form, but this book length form is not for him. The whole thing is a wearisome, snarky retelling of our cultural history--all that verbiage to make several valid points about bike riding and living together. The guy has to make a living so buy the book for its good points, but I wouldn't feel bad about skipping most of the silliness. Or I can save you that effort: be nice to your fellow man/woman, even those who drive or ride differently from you for we are all...blah

Overview
The joys of commuting by bike attract scores of new converts every year. But as fresh-faced cyclists fill the roads, they also encounter their share of frustrations--careless drivers, wide-flung car doors, zoned-out pedestrians, and aggressive fellow cyclists, to name a few. In this follow-up to the best-selling Bike Snob, BikeSnobNYC takes on the trials and triumphs of bike commuting with snark, humor, and enthusiasm, asking the question: If we become better commuters, will that make us better people? From the deadly sins of biking to tactics for dealing with cars, pedestrians, and other cyclists, this primer on bike travel is a must-read for cyclists new and seasoned alike.
