Bike2Work

Three cheers for the latest UK/US collaboration! Two cycling mavens written about before in our blog, Carlton Reid and Tim Grahl, have completed their book, Bike to Work, and to borrow their words, it is a page-flippin' beauty! To download a free 50 page sampler , go to http://tinyurl.com/Bike2Work. Once you do, I bet you won't be able to wait for the full 250 page version due out at the end of December.

Thanks, Jeffery Deaver!

I've decided that the great novelist Jeffery Deaver must be a cyclist and must have Kryptonite lock.

Earlier this year I was reading his novel "The Blue Nowhere" and found a Kryptonite reference. Yesterday I was on my porch reading his latest Lincoln Rhyme novel, "The Broken Window" and, again, there's Kryptonite!

On page 104 it says, "I found her bike outside - she had a Kryptonite key in her pocket and it fit."

HA! He even chose the correct lock for the location. The novel takes place in New York City and a few pages later they mention, "...her bike was chained to a lamppost outside the loft."

How cool is that?

I'm only on page 133, but it's a classic Deaver novel so far and I'm very much enjoying it. I see more reading on the porch today in my future. Go pick it up today and enjoy!

Jeffery Deaver Novel

I keep meaning to mention this....I was on the flight back from Zurich last week and had a Jeffery Deaver book with me. I've been a Deaver fan for many years, but hadn't read "The Blue Nowhere" before. It's pretty good, although technical since it is about two computer hacks. But, it was a good distraction for the 8-hour flight.

Anyway, I'm reading along and on page 245, I come across this....
"Hooking the old, battered Kryptonite lock through the frame of his cycle,....."

I almost jumped out of my seat! What a great surprise!

The book itself is pretty good, too. Go pick it up today if you like suspense novels.
