Wholesale Bicycle! A Repair & Maintenance Manifesto, 2nd Edition

Paperback, 256 Pages: There’s nothing sacred about bike repair—it just takes a willingness to learn. Bicycle! is a witty, radical, and deeply practical guide written by a longtime mechanic to help riders feed and care for their bikes. Ditching techno-speak and mechanic gatekeeping, this book makes maintenance accessible, joyful, and even a little rebellious. With step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations, and DIY spirit, Bicycle! covers everything from basic upkeep to scavenging parts and building bikes from scratch. This second edition adds new photos, updated resources, and insights from the author’s time fixing bikes in Mauritania with the Peace Corps. Whether you’re a commuter, messenger, pedicab driver, or just love to ride, Bicycle! is your go-to manual for keeping bikes on the road—low-cost, no-cost, and no nonsense. Topics include: tools, components, road repairs, theft deterrents, rust, and more.
