BIKE SNOB ABROAD

In Bike Snob Abroad, the author, BikeSnobNYC (aka Eben Weiss), takes readers on a journey beyond his native New York City into cities renowned for cycling like London, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, and San Vito dei Normanni. The narrative blends travelogue with social commentary, focusing on how different societies treat bicycles—not as niche luxury items or lifestyle statements but as practical modes of everyday transportation.
This book stands out by incorporating the author's experiences cycling with his toddler son, highlighting family life on two wheels and the challenges it presents in various cultures. Through humorous anecdotes and thoughtful reflections, Weiss explores the “growing pains” all cycling cultures encounter when trying to coexist with motorists and pedestrians, especially in an era of smartphone distraction
