The Year of The Bike

The Year of The Bike:



It didn't show up in the Chinese Calendar but it did in mine; During this past year I've done more assignments involving bicycles than ever before. Besides illustrating the tongue-in-cheek Bike Snob column for Bicycling Magazine there's been other editorial, advertising and product design gigs about my favorite contraption (Sadly, I cannot show the products yet)
This piece was for the literary magazine El Malpensante, on a story about the author's fear of riding a bicycle even though he knew and dreamt about the joyous feeling of being on a bike
