Summary

The doyen of bike etiquette leaves NYC behind to experience a strange new world of cycling—through London, Amsterdam, and beyond. 
 
What does it really mean to be a bike-friendly country? BikeSnobNYC decided to find out for himself. With his toddler son in tow, he heads to London, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, and San Vito dei Normanni in search of the ultimate bike culture.  
 
With humorous anecdotes and his trademark wit and wisdom, BikeSnobNYC takes us on his most personal narrative journey yet, and ultimately shines a light on the growing pains that exist in any culture that asks smartphone-obsessed text-happy pedestrians, the two-wheeled, and the four-wheeled to share the road.
Available since: 04/02/2013.
Print length: 192 pages.

    “Uncovers evidence of covert Canadian usurpation . . .Thankfully, Colburn has some tips on identifying these stealthy yet tidy marauders in our midst.” —Seattle Weekly 
     
    Canadians are peaceable, friendly, unassuming, and adorable. They’re also secretly in control of nearly every aspect of life in the Southernmost Canadian territory known as the United States.  
     
    This hilarious illustrated compendium of real facts and wild assertions traces a vast, maple-leaf conspiracy that plays up Canada’s self-effacing second fiddle image to the U.S. while it creates and clandestinely controls nearly everything Americans hold dear, from Superman to basketball to William Shatner to macaroni and cheese.  
     
    With everyday life in the U.S. already as much as 70% Canadian, and our music, movies, and TV shows filled with subliminal pro-Canadian messages, the authors of So, You Want to Be Canadian reveal that in actuality, you already are. 
     
    “The premise is that Canadians have gotten their overly polite (and no doubt well groomed) mitts on everything. The U.S. of Eh? includes lists of many Canadian things—hotties, music, actors, inventions—as well as lots of general silliness about the ‘maple leaf conspiracy.’” —January Magazine
