Two wheels good : the history and mystery of the bicycle / by Rosen, Jody,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly out of pace with our age of smartphones and ridesharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than by any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bike--and nearly everyone does. In Two Wheels Good, writer and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanity's life and dreamlife--and a flashpoint in culture wars--for more for than two hundred years. Combining history, reportage, travelogue, and memoir, Rosen sweeps across centuries and around the globe, unfolding the bicycle's saga from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a "green machine," an emblem of sustainability in a world afflicted by pandemic and climate change. Readers meet unforgettable characters: feminist rebels who steered bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a prospector who pedaled across the frozen Yukon to join the Klondike gold rush, a Bhutanese king who races mountain bikes in the Himalayas, a cycle rickshaw driver who navigates the seething streets of the world's fastest-growing megacity, astronauts who ride a floating bicycle in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station"--

The everything keto cycling cookbook : 300 recipes for starting--and maintaining--the keto lifestyle / by Boyers, Lindsay,author.;
"The keto diet has taken the world by storm, promising quick weight loss by burning fat for fuel instead of carbs. But the keto diet isn't perfect for everyone. It can be highly restrictive, allowing dieters to only eat a minimal amount of carbs each day, which can be hard to keep up on a long-term basis. The keto cycle diet allows dieters to experience the wonderful benefits of the keto diet without having to give up carbs forever. By adhering to the keto diet for six days of the week and then eating healthy, clean carbs on the seventh-such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, and fruit-followers of the keto cycling diet burn fat and lose weight while still enjoying pasta once in a while. The Everything Keto Cycling Cookbook will help you create keto-friendly meals during the week and healthy carb-forward dishes for that day of free eating. This cookbook features 300 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even desserts that will keep you on track and feeling great"--
