──《紐約時報》編輯當週精選────《科克斯書評》、《出版人週刊》星級好評────《巴黎到月球》作者亞當．高普尼克熱情盛讚──┤口碑推薦├　王政中｜腳踏車書店老闆何航順｜公路車小馬翁稷安｜國立暨南國際大學歷史系副教授張子午｜《報導者》主編鄭祖睿｜國立成功大學交通管理科學系助理教授鍾慧諭｜公民幫推理事長、前臺北市交通局局長▌騎單車的你置身另一個世界，一個中介區域，在堅實大地和廣闊無垠的天空之間滑翔單車最早出現在19世紀，曾被用來承載人們賴以維生的貨物，在冰天雪地下代替獸力交通工具，戰時用來運送輜重及士兵，而隨著運動健身風潮興起，更衍生出室內腳踏車——從生到死，單車陪伴著人類走過許多歲月。與蒸汽引擎、打字機、電報等其他19世紀重大發明不同的是，單車可謂唯一以原始樣貌留存到今日的器械。本書作者裘迪．羅森是居住在紐約的單車愛好者，約在五歲學會騎單車，從此愛上這種交通工具。學生時代，他在波士頓擔任腳踏車快遞員，能踩整天的踏板到日落仍捨不得下車。開始報導生涯後，他造訪了世界上存在單車文化之處，如孟加拉、不丹、英國、中國，以及歐美多座城市，除了訪問技巧頂尖的特技騎士、以人力車為生計的南亞車夫，另也深入探索各地單車文化的異同，更親自跳上車四處騎行，直接感受當地文化。在這本說歷史、談交通，也細看單車這種運輸工具如何嵌入各地社會紋理的書中，作者會帶給讀者許多意想不到的知識──🚲不丹是全球數一數二多山的國家，卻逆勢發展出大受歡迎的全民單車熱，背後與王室號召力不無關聯；「捕獲野生的騎單車國王」經驗，也成為不丹人津津樂道的話題。🚲鐵達尼號沉沒前，船上健身房內踩健身腳踏車的乘客留下了珍貴歷史紀錄。最後使用健身車的乘客在船體開始沉沒時，甚至仍踩著踏板運動。安裝於船上的兩部健身車，至今可能還靜靜躺在大西洋深處。🚲越戰期間美軍陷入苦戰，很大程度是敗給了腳踏車。越共的單車插滿樹葉達到偽裝效果，以數十輛為一隊，載運物資量與卡車相同，行蹤又隱密、有機動性，即使是美軍轟炸道路和橋梁的攻勢也拿單車沒轍。🚲天安門事件最初的示威者湧入廣場，很多人是騎單車前來，靜坐者會用單車豎立旗桿、搭帳篷。6月4日清晨軍隊到場鎮壓，一些單車開始擔任「醫療救護車」、消息傳遞的管道，一些人則騎單車逃命。最後，官方釋出畫面：數十輛遭坦克車輾毀的單車堆積如小山。《雙輪上的單車史》爬梳歷史但不僅限於歷史，雜糅了單車前世與今生的故事

A panoramic revisionist portrait of the nineteenth-century invention that is transforming the twenty-first century world.The bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly at odds with our age of smartphones and ridesharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than by any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bike―and nearly everyone does.In Two Wheels Good, writer and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanity’s life and dreamlife―and a flashpoint in culture wars―for more for than two hundred years. Combining history, reportage, travelogue, and memoir, Rosen’s book sweeps across centuries and around the globe, unfolding the bicycle’s saga from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a “green machine,” an emblem of sustainability in a world afflicted by pandemic and climate change. Readers meet unforgettabl
