I own a _signed copy_ (only because I ordered from Riv) and read through it some years ago. Can’t say I remember much about it, but it did help me realize that it’s okay to ride a bike in regular clothes/shoes which was a very different mindset from where I was at the time.

I just read the first few “chapters” of my copy and it’s sort of funny how non-radical it is ten years later
Certainly like 10-20% of it is pure Grant kookiness but a lot of it is just… how a lot of people are riding bikes now?..

Just noticed this. Riv makes no mention of the fact that these frames are unfiled. Nasty.

We sell a tin of their salmon for 15.99. Well, it’s on the shelf. I don’t know if anyone actually buys it.

fishwife is $14 in Pdx I believe; there are other good options at $10 but hard to find much below that

Fishwife is very good. I have no idea what Riv does anymore, so nothing they sell surprises me.

Just the latest Grant whim to become a Riv sku, following: axes, pine tar soap, various non-biking books, weird clothing accessories, etc.
