Freewheeling: Nine Adventurous Tales of Boys and Their Bikes

Freewheeling: Nine Adventurous Tales of Boys and Their Bikes is a memoir told in nine connected stories, set in and around Toronto at a time when long summer days and a bicycle were all that was needed to get somewhere-and sometimes further than intended.These are stories of riding too far, going too fast, and getting into just enough trouble. There are no podiums or victories here-only small decisions, small misjudgements, and the quiet realization, often after the fact, of where things could have gone differently.Clear-eyed, understated, and often unexpectedly funny, Freewheeling captures a kind of freedom that is difficult to describe and easy to recognize: a time when the road was open, the days were long, and judgement came second.
