[rsl]

I'm sure a good many of you have already seen this, but I thought I'd point it out.

It's made an otherwise boring day at work rather enjoyable!

Good essays on different aspects of cycling culture:

thanks guys :beer:

btw, I just read Krabbé's The Rider--great book and a quick read, save it for a rainy day

I've often wondered why cycling doesn't have a richer tradition of such first-hand accounts/literature.

If anyone is familiar with good mountaineering books (stories, adventure, etc) let me know--mountaineering isn't my thing but I just read Krakauer's Into Thin Air and really liked it

(Reinhold Messner, anyone? What other authors should I check out?)

Check out Mark Twight's Kiss or Kill: Confessions of a Serial Climber.
