Rating:  Summary: This book is an undiscovered treasure Review: What a surprise to read a book about cycling that's really about life. The last book I read that got to me this much was Blue Highways. Metal Cowboy comes at you in perfectly timed spurts. It's funny for a few stories then works into you with some heartfelt moments. I really did feel like I was taking an unpredictable but wonderful thrill ride with this guy.
Rating:  Summary: Tantilizingly terrific two-wheeled tales Review: When a writer's true acounts are so amazing that you think each story was pulled from his or her own hind quarters, then you know you've gotten something truly amazing in your hot, little hands.As a fan of all things two-wheeled and man-powered, this book re-iterates why riding a bike is so much fun. Furthermore, Kurmaskie provides living proof that people can be truly good at heart. Each turn of the page is full of spectacular prose, providing anyone with the spark to load down a bike with gear, hit the blacktop and discover the road-less-pedaled.
Rating:  Summary: Good To Go! Review: You are gonna love this book! The introduction which tells the story of the Metal Cowboy stopped at the traffic light while the old cowboy tapped him all over with his cane is worth the price of the book. Did I ever get a kick out of this book!
