Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Aus dem Klappentext

The Stumpjumper was the first commercially made mountain bike, and in the twenty-five years since its appearance, the bicycling world has been revolutionized. a Whole new culture has sprung up - the fat-tire, dirt-loving mountain bike adventurers, rejecting the orthodoxy of the road, bringing their countercultural attitude and look to the Americn masses. this full-color history of the mountain bike celebrates all aspects of off-road cycling, from the early experimental "clunkers" to the first Stumpjumper to the modern technological marvels replete with carbon-fiber frames, front and rear shock absorbers, and twenty-one (or more) speeds; from the scruffy darevevil pioneers of the sport to today's well-sponsored professional riders. Nowadays every kid rides a mountain bike. And ther's a Stumpjumper on display at the Smithsonian. It is all here in this well-researched, smartly written, photo-rich coffee table book.
