“From A to B: A Cartoon Guide to Getting Around By Bike” is pretty much as its title suggests. The bicycle can serve as an inexpensive and efficient means of transport. The author, whose cartoons have been published in The Guardian and Cycling UK among other other publications, writes in the introduction: “If you are interested in the sport and racing side of cycling you will most certainly still enjoy this book. We just ask that you conduct your racing on an upright Dutch bicycle for the duration.” He continues by indicating “Subjects That May Not Receive a Huge Amount of Attention,” avoiding, thankfully, “dogmatic views about wearing a helmet,” moving to “Things That Are of Slightly Greater Interest,” such as “whether your bike is made of titanium,” to topics that he will probably explore repeatedly: “saying hello,” “finding a lovely bike for sale,” “reaching our destination safely.”
