Portland-based Nutcase Helmets and Ten Speed Press recently celebrated the release of Hello, Bicycle, a new book by Anna Brones about embracing a life on two wheels.
Hello, Bicycle is an inspirational and encouraging illustrated guide to the world of bicycles and cycling— with practical information on bike buying, repairs, and maintenance as well as fun tips on picnicking and traveling with bikes, activities with bikes, and craft projects with bike parts. Covering everything you need to know to live a two-wheeled life, this nifty little guide offers something for cyclists at all levels.
Anna Brones is a freelance writer and the author of The Culinary Cyclist (Elly Blue Publishing, 2014), Fika: The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break (Ten Speed Press, 2015) and Paris Coffee Revolution (Editions Les Nouveaux Artisans, 2015). She is the founder of the food quarterly Comestible as well as the site Foodie Underground and her work has been featured in Bicycling, Sprudge, BBC, Guardian and more. She is also a freelance film producer, currently working on Afghan Cycles, a feature documentary about women cycling in Afghanistan.
Nutcase Helmets was founded in Portland, OR in 2006 to solve the global epidemic of boring helmets. Creative director and founder Michael Morrow dug deep into his design vault and unleashed a cacophony of graphics onto the world of outdoor, flipping it on its head. Fortunately, it was protected. Today, they’ve reframed the ‘helmet conversation’ into one of thoughtful attention to details and fashion forward design to create a piece you want to wear instead of one you should.
