    Bought it, haven’t found time to read it yet beyond page 8 but looks to read as well as your blog.

    Just finished it this morning. Very entertaining and educational. Thanks for educating us on a topic we all think we are experts on, but aren’t.

    Congratulations Tom. The more writing on driver awareness, the better, at this point in history.

    You’re welcome! I read it in hardback, then bought a softcover copy pre-ordered from Amazon for my Dad. :)

    I read your book at the library for free! Then, I scanned every page and seeded it as a torrent so millions more could enjoy this great book! Just kidding!

    Great book and even a better blog site! So much of this is obvious (especially to us cyclists) but the driving public seems to remain in deep denial of the created monster. Thanks Tom for educating the public on the importance of transportation choices in making more livable communities.

    Awesome! I read it from the library, but plan to buy the paperback because it is so packed with important material I want it as a reference. Great book.

    Sorry I’m not one of the people who bought the paperback, but that’s because I already own the hardcover :-)
