Since helping to set up and run a community bike project here in Bristol, my eyes have been opened to the breadth of people and projects around the world doing great great things with bicycles. And what impresses me most about the vast majority of these is the humanity and desire to do things for the greater good that almost always seem to be an integral part of them.
Boneshaker is an attempt to bring together some of these people and projects, both on a local level starting with my hometown of Bristol, UK – where there is a steady-growing, vibrant bicycle culture – to further afield and around the globe. It is my hope that the following pages will both inspire and entertain, raise awareness and bring a smile to your face... and appeal to both bike-heads and to those who may not yet even have experienced the true joy and freedom that can be found from our two-wheeled friends.
Thanks for reading.
