Synopsis

Bicycle Mechanics explores the science and engineering behind bicycles, revealing how these machines efficiently convert human power into motion. It examines the evolution of bicycles, from early designs to modern, high-performance models, highlighting the advancements in materials and drivetrain technology. For instance, understanding rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag can significantly impact a cyclist's efficiency and speed.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the fundamental physics governing bicycle motion and delving into the intricacies of gear systems, including derailleurs and internal hub gears. It also analyzes how frame geometry and tire selection affect ride quality and performance on various terrains. This comprehensive approach equips readers with the knowledge to understand, maintain, and even customize their bicycles.

 
One unique aspect of this book is its blend of theoretical analysis with practical applications, empowering cyclists and engineers alike. Readers gain insights into diagnosing and fixing common bicycle problems, selecting the appropriate gears for different conditions, and optimizing their bike's performance. This combination of mechanical engineering principles and practical advice makes Bicycle Mechanics an invaluable resource for cycling enthusiasts, amateur racers, and engineering students.

    Lightweight, compact, distinctively styled, and now, electric: The Brompton isn't the only folding bicycle—or even the first. But everyone who has been on one will enthusiastically testify to its marvelous design (virtually unchanged over decades) and the particular joy of riding it. 
     
     
     
    Will Butler-Adams, CEO of Brompton Bicycles, has been at the company for twenty years. Initially, he worked as an engineer for Andrew Ritchie, the bike's brilliant inventor and the business's founder, before taking the helm in 2008. Butler-Adams's heartfelt mission is to grow and promote sustainable urban transportation and to improve city-dwellers' lives everywhere. 
     
      
     
    Under his leadership, Brompton has grown from making a few hundred bikes a year to over 90,000, with revenue of $130 million. But progress hasn't always been easy: There have been boardroom struggles, supply-chain problems, and conflicts with founder Andrew Ritchie. In The Brompton, Butler-Adams brings to life what it means to grow a company to global scale. He also tells the stories of the people who make the Brompton and the people who ride it. And he explains how customers all around the world fell in love with a brand that never set out to be a brand.

    Following the birth of their daughter, Jack McClure and his wife Alana had every intention of continuing their life of adventure. After an extensive hiking trip in the desert southwest, they found that having a baby with them was no excuse to stay home and dream of adventures that could’ve been. With lofty ambitions, they set their sights on thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico as a family, beginning when their daughter was 9 months old. What followed was a 1,500 mile odyssey filled not only with primeval forests and sweeping mountain vistas but also countless lullabies, hundreds of diaper changes and innumerable tears shed. 
    Sparking warmth and inspiration, You Carry the Tent, I’ll Carry the Baby paints a vivid picture of the joys and numerous stressors of one family’s experience raising an infant on their terms, all while hiking twenty miles a day for months on end, in a journey that challenges them every step of the way.
