rounding this up to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. THIS IS SO CUTE OMG!!! definitely for all the bike nerdz out there 🚴♀️🤓
this is a collection of cycling-related comics & i was so excited to pick this one up bc i have never read a comic entirely about bikes omg so i truly enjoyed reading this one ✨
the illustrations are so fun to look at 💯 and love how theres a touch of humour here and there which makes me smile while reading. there were certain parts where i wished it was elaborated/explained more though so that it would be easier to understand why bikers were represented as such. maybe also to clear some doubts bc i felt that some situations might happen differently in where i live. i assume that these biking experiences were based in the UK as the cartoonist himself lives in the UK :)
anyways!! apart from bike lovers who would truly appreciate and enjoy this, its generally still a great read if youre looking for something to read w/o thinking too much and if you enjoy looking at cute drawings hehe

Brilliant and insightful. Dave always creates great cartoons that make you think. This is a collection for any new or seasoned cyclist and would make a great gift, too. I particularly appreciated the sections on safety, infrastructure and being a force for good- found myself agreeing out loud a number of times and relating to some of the scenarios described.
