Book Review: "Hello, Bicycle" by Anna Brones

Hello, Bicycle: An Inspired Guide to the Two-Wheeled LifeHello, Bicycle: An Inspired Guide to the Two-Wheeled Life by Anna Brones

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This compact little book was, for the most part, a wonderful read for the bicycle enthusiast. It is packed with a plethora of bike-related advice, facts, (charming!) illustrations, resource lists, recipes, activities, careers, etc. It seems to at least touch on – if not thoroughly cover – almost any subject or question that might come to the mind of a cyclist. Best suited for those just starting out. A great encouragement to just get on and ride!

There were some negatives. First, the author did not have any qualms about throwing in a curse word or bit of foul language here and there. This is unprofessional, unnecessary, and unwanted. Also, she really liked her alcoholic beverages. I expected a bicycle book, not a beer commercial. It is very discouraging to have to read a book with a bottle of White-Out in one’s hand. And least, but still annoying, while clever with her words, the author was not great on grammar in a few areas.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
