"Fat Tire Flyer" goes on sale

This expat may just need to get his pre-order in... I'll give it a plug on the DORBA fb page, we have done great things in Dallas in building a trail network that will rival most metro areas.

A little update. I don't know whether I posted the Fat Tire Flyer Facebook page, but here it is.

I just got the first galley proofs of the finished book, and I am pretty happy with the way it came out. The graphics are overwhelming, and it's a pretty good story too.

It looks better than I had even hoped for. You guys are going to love it.
 
Bump.

Saw my book for the first time four days ago at the Interbike trade show. I wrote the words and collected the images, but I left the rest in the hands of my publisher Velopress. Whatever I expected was exceeded by a light year. It's the most beautiful, weighty tome I could have ever asked for.

We had about 160 copies to sell at the show. I was cautioned by the experienced hands not to get too excited about selling them all.

Please. These are my people. Watch this.

I rounded up Gary Fisher, Joe Breeze and Tom Ritchey, and over the course of two hours the four of us signed every copy in the building. The queue was so long it snaked through the exhibits and I couldn't see the end from where we sat. People were walking up with armloads of books. When there were no more books to sell there were dozens of disappointed people left at the end of the line.

The next morning the photo of the four of us ran on the cover of the daily show publication. No caption. If you don't know who these people are, it wouldn't matter to you anyway.

Those 160 copies with four signatures will be valuable eventually. It's unlikely this crew could be assembled again for such a moment.
