Fat Tire Flyer has started arriving at the homes of the pre-orders from Amazon in the US. My publishers have generously offered a .pdf sample of the paper product for any who care to peruse it online, absolutely free of charge.

An essential history...... 25 Sep 2014
By J. C. Lampe - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I received my copy of Fat Tire Flyer yesterday and so far, I'm thrilled. I only had time to flip through the book, looking at all the photos and illustrations and they do not disappoint! Many full-color 1970's photos of the primary suspects involed in the founding of mountain biking as a sport. I also was able to read the chapters up to the point where Charlie Kelly invites Gary Fisher to move into the household that became the HQ for modifying old cruiser bikes into Klunkerz!
Anyone who has read Berto's "Birth of Dirt" or seen Savage's documentary, "Klunkerz" will love this first-person account of the invention of the mountain bike and the modern sport of mountain biking.

Re: Re:
I had an email from amazon a few weeks ago saying the release was going to be delayed by a few weeks, which made it all the more surprising when it arrived today!
Anyone with an interest in mountain biking should have this book, well that's my opinion anyway. The collection of photos is superb, and a real tribute to the people who were interested and motivated enough to them in the first place! The text is very concise and detailed, and its going to take me some time to read the whole lot, but simply brilliant.
Cheers,
Andrew
