Defying Poverty with Bicycles is easy to read and inspiring. I especially like the way it addresses Social Bike Business as a means for directly opposing globalization, outsourcing, redlining, bias, discrimination and mass marketing for consumerism. It does an excellent job of presenting these harmful trends while sticking to the how-to steps of launching one of these programs to counteract them. - Dr. Paul Simpson, Centre Region Bicycle Coalition, State College, Pennsylvania, USA Defying Poverty with Bicycles represents a powerful vision, thought through in careful detail.

In the end, it is a story of hope and resilience for anyone who has ever let themselves slip away into ambition. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Sue Knaup's BIKE HUNT is at once a compelling memoir, a narrative of discovery and political activism as well as a look at bicycles as you haven't seen them before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Thomas Cobb author of DARKNESS THE COLOR OF SNOW and CRAZY HEART\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e BIKE HUNT is about a woman on a mission to share her wheels and open up the world to the people she meets.
