It's not always easy to express well in words a passion that unites billions of people around the world. Sometimes you have to rely on the ability of a writer, while other times at least 20 are needed. This is the case with Isabella Borghese and the book A Beautiful Bicycle that Goes, an anthology of over 20 stories written by those who love two wheels. Among all books for cyclists, this is certainly one of the most particular, but it can very well convey the idea that the bicycle goes beyond just a means of transport.

There are many writers who have expressed their thoughts about cycling, but it can be said that one of the most effective phrases is that of Didier Tronchet: “The sympathy that the bicycle inspires also comes from the fact that no invasion has ever been made by bicycle”.

A book of stories about cyclingA Beautiful Bicycle that Goes is much more than a book: it is a collection of over 20 stories written by very famous authors who have found themselves expressing their thoughts on two wheels. Everything starts from an idea: the bicycle is one of the few means that unites everyone. It itself is made up of different parts and gears, but beyond that, any kind of person can pedal, from the doctor to the accountant, from the entrepreneur to the worker, passing through the housewife. It is a means suitable for everyone and from the moment you get in the saddle, all distinctions disappear. Stefano Benni, Fulvio Ervas, Andrea Satta are just some of the 25 authors who have written about their personal relationship with the bicycle. For some it represents a sport, for others a lifestyle, for still others a symbol of freedom: there are those who remember their very first bike rides during childhood, to those who use it every day, to those who travel and those who escape. Each story is full of emotions and memories, all obviously on a bicycle. The title, inspired by the homonymous song by Paolo Conte, recalls the idea of silent speed that is the backdrop to the entire book.In this anthology of stories, a reflection by Margherita Hack could not be missing, which also inspired the creation of the book: "I do not hide from you that I have always thought that initially the bicycle was an indispensable means to go to school, to work. Today I consider it a means that recalls freedom, ecological, for fun”. Among all books for cyclists, A Beautiful Bicycle that Goes is certainly one of the most effective and exciting.From the bike shops to the trend movementsThe world of two wheels is immense, as are the movements that surround it. It starts from the very moment of the creation of bicycles in the bike shops, which today have become a meeting point for all young (and less young) lovers of this means.Then we continue with the cycle bars, which are real thematic bars very popular with two-wheel fanatics. In recent years, various movements have been born that unite cycling with the world of design and lifestyle: Cycle Chic in Denmark and now also in Italy, as well as fixed gear bikes which have become a lifestyle. Of course, there can also be bike trips, because it is not enough to pedal in the city, but the bicycle can also accompany you on extraordinary journeys.Would you like to take a bike trip but don't know where to go?
