Cartoonist and cyclist Dave Walker has put together this hilarious coffee table book full of cycling-related illustrations. * Cycling Weekly *
I would be very surprised if there wasn't at least one page in this book with which any subculture of cyclist could not identify. * thewashingmachinepost *
With luck, Walker may be at the forefront of a renaissance of the art of cycling cartoons. I for one would be happy to see more exponents of the art showing off their talents if they are as good as this. -- Feargal McKay * www.podiumcafe.com *
I laughed out loud... There's so much in this book that will appeal to any rider. * www.ridevelo.cc *
