Philosophical Ridings by Craig Bourne

From Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to The Motorcycle Diaries, to be a biker is to be on the road to the meaning of life. What would the existentialists have to say about facing death on a bike? Can your motorcycle be as much a work of art as a Michelangelo painting? And why is it that bikers are so often political rebels? Philosopher and biker Craig Bourne shows for the first time the thoughtful side of the biker, and takes us on a fun trip through the philosophy of motorcycles.
Suzanne Ferriss - Suzanne Ferriss, editor, International Journal of Motorcycle Studies (ijmsnova.edu), and co-author of Motorbike (Reaktion Books)."A thought-provoking examination of philosophical issues relevant to motorcycling, from aesthetics to justice and, ultimately, the nature of death and existence."
