Later today, we'll be announcing the two lucky winners of our bike giveaway, each of whom will win a new Trek Allant bike. To celebrate, this week's excerpt is from Darrin Nordahl's Making Transit Fun!, an electronic short that celebrates ways cities and people around the world are making getting around without a car more enjoyable than driving. This chapter celebrates the joy of cycling. If you enjoy the excerpt, the entire book is $3.99 or less and can be read in just a few hours.
