Hey Paul,
I appreciate the kind words! The Bicycle Tree looks like an awesome shop.
And Molly, thanks for your interest in the book -- copying Steven at PM Press, who will know more than I about their Canadian distribution.
Best, Sam

It looks great! I went to order a copy, but minimum shipping to Canada was $26. Any Canadian sources?
Thanks, Molly

I just ordered a copy, I look forward to reading it. Bicycle! and How to Rock and Roll were a big part of my early bike repair education - thank you, Sam!

I would highly recommend this book! It should be required reading for anyone getting started in a community bike shop. :-)

Thanks for the heads up on this. Sounds like a great resource even for those of us who've working on bikes for a long time.

Hello ThinkTank,
Greetings! Hope you're well. I wanted to let people know about my new book *Riding More with Less*, published 1/23/24 by PM Press. It focuses on resourceful approaches towards fixing the bikes people actually ride, giving space to topics including how to break rust, knowing when it's safe to reuse parts, and more broadly to the many older technologies still in common use. Best of all, the book also features technical insights and commentary from volunteers and mechanics at 34 community bike shops across 4 countries. Great to encounter so many insightful people, through this project -- I learnt a lot, and as I hope you'll agree their voices add quite a bit.
Background: I began working as a mechanic in bike shops in 1994, and this is my fourth bike repair manual. It's the second one that I've done with PM Press. More info can be found at the publisher's website here: https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1543
Question: I'll be visiting family in the Boston/Cambridge area the second and third weeks of July, and I'm hoping to set up some book events. Would anyone know people at community shops out there whom I might ask about this?
Thanks, Sam Tracy _______________________________________________ TheThinkTank mailing list -- thethinktank@lists.bikecollectives.org To unsubscribe send an email to thethinktank-leave@lists.bikecollectives.org To view this discussion on the web visit https://lists.bikecollectives.org/hyperkitty/list/thethinktank@lists.bikecol...
