When eleven year old Tony falls sick with chicken pox he spends much of his time in the bedroom that he shares with his older brother, Jack, looking out of the bedroom window through his fathers binoculars. When Jack was sick he had observed the movements of two shady looking men who appeared to be exchanging bikes, one leaving a bike hidden in the ditch at the front of the house and the other collecting it later. When the second man, Number Two, fails to collect a bike left in the ditch the boys decide to hide it in their meeting house, a shed at the bottom of the garden, and examine it the next day. But there never seems to be an opportunity to look at the bike and tell Mum and Dad what is going on. Eventually they tell their story and their suspicions to Dad who contacts the local RCMP. The boys are drawn into a mysterious web and finally help the RCMP capture a gang of drug smugglers.

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2023** 'Full of delightful anecdotes and interviews and fascinating historical tales' Mail on Sunday A panoramic portrait of the wonderous vehicle whose passenger is also its engine. A toy, a tool, a liberator, or complete nuisance: the bicycle has been many things to many people over the decades, yet it endures as the most popular form of transport in the world. How has such a simple machine achieved so much? Combining history, travelogue and memoir, Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous vehicle from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a 'green machine'. Readers meet unforgettable characters: women's suffragists who steered bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a Bhutanese king who races mountain bikes in the Himalayas, astronauts who ride a floating bicycle in zero gravity. By examining the bicycle's past and peering into its future, Two Wheels Good forms a joyful ode to an engineering marvel of global importance. 'Funny, precise, surprising' Adam Gopnik 'Love for two-wheeled transport runs through every sentence' Economist 'Wry, rich, deeply researched' Patrick Radden Keefe
