"No matter what or how you ride, read this book and remind yourself just how enjoyable cycling can and should be."--Eben Weiss, author of The Enlightened Cyclist

Just Ride is a revelation. Forget the ultralight, uncomfortable bikes, flashy jerseys, clunky shoes that clip onto tiny pedals, the grinding out of endless miles. Instead, ride like you did when you were a kid--just get on your bike and discover the pure joy of riding it.

A reformed racer who's commuted by bike every day since 1980, whose writings and opinions appear in major bicycling and outdoor magazines, and whose company, Rivendell Bicycle Works, makes bikes for riders ready to opt out of a culture overrun by racing, Grant Petersen shares a lifetime of unexpected facts, controversial opinions, expert techniques, and his own maverick philosophy.

In 87 short, two-to-three page chapters, it covers:
  • Riding: Count Days, Not Miles; Corner Like Jackie Robinson; Steer with Your Hips, Shift with Your Legs
  • Suiting Up: The Shoes Ruse; Ponchos--the Ultimate Unracer's Garment
  • Safety: #1 Rule--Be Seen; Helmets Aren't All They're Cracked Up to Be
  • Health and Fitness: Why Riding Is Lousy All-Around Exercise; Saddles Don't Cause Impotence; Drink When You're Thirsty--Not Before


Also includes chapters on Accessories, Upkeep, and Technicalities, and a final chapter titled "Velosophy" that includes the essential, memorable thought: Your Bike Is a Toy--Have Fun with It.

Perfect for giving my dull skin a extra boost
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Really great moisturizer for my entire body. I have been having issues with my skin looking dull & dry even after using lotion. I’ve realized b/c I am 40+ I need to add an extra layer with a little extra in the ingredients to bring my skin back to life & this has really did a good job so far. I love it. I originally bought it for my day for prom to give her extra shine that will last all night & it did an amazing job on her “young” skin & made it glow so beautifully. Then I said, let’s see what it will do for momma & started using it. I like it b/c it doesn’t leave residue on clothes & it’s not too thick or oily it’s perfect. After the shower this is my got to & a night out I will definitely add a layer of this & hit the road. I definitely recommend this product if you are looking for anything I mentioned above. I will be buying my daughter another bottle & myself as well & adding to subscription list.

New Summer skincare routine staple!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Wow! This oil is amazing! It smells heavenly and feels dreamy! It leaves your skin looking beautiful with a stunning shimmer. It hydrates without an oily or sticky feeling and feels lightweight and soft on the skin. It is really such a great value because it barely takes any product to hydrate your skin. This will be a staple for my Summer skincare routine!

Overrated
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
I wanted to like this. I had it in my shopping cart for over a year. When I got a gift card during Christmas, I used it on this product. It was quite underwhelming, in my opinion. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving a soft glow without feeling greasy, which I really appreciated. It layers well under clothing and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. The hydration is decent thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and nourishing oils, but I didn’t notice a dramatic difference compared to other quality body lotions. While the idea of 24K gold sounds luxurious, I didn’t see a noticeable improvement in firmness or redness reduction. I also found myself using ALOT in order to get even close to the results that are advertised. I am a big fan of using oils and I've used better / more affordable ones. The toasted vanilla scent is pleasant and warm, with a slightly sweet, creamy finish, but the scent was fleeting and did not last. Overall, it’s an OK oil with a nice scent and feel, but the results didn’t stand out enough to fully justify the premium, spa-like claims and price.
