June 2005: The Handsomest Man in Cuba wins a Silver Award, 'Travel Essays', ForewordMagazine.com Book of the Year Awards, 2004. Not to be confused with the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes for literature, Foreword magazine caters to USA libraries and booksellers who are interested in independently published books. Thank you to the 1000 folks who bought the USA edition by Small Wheel Press (designed entirely on Lynette's 12" Powerbook G4 laptop), the 4770 folks who bought the Random House Australia edition downunder (sadly no photos in that edition), and more than 150 folks who have written reviews, especially the thirty five-star reviews on Amazon. There are 500 copies left, with Silver Medal attached, signed if you ask, buy from us at Bike Friday!

Some great saddlebag stuffers for your favorite cycling buddies include books like:
* Bike Friday World Traveler Lynette Chiang's Handsomest Man in Cuba ($14.95), now with over 30 five-star Amazon.com reviews
* Bike Friday Japan Attache Ruthy Kanagy's Living Abroad in Japan ($17.95). You can hear Ruthy talking on Travel with Rick Steves, KUOW Seattle 94.9FM - scroll down to "Program 11: Japan & More USA Road Trips"
* Local SatRDay owner and award-winning photographer Herman Krieger's sublime witty photo essay Churches Ad Hoc - A Divine Comedy ( now just $10), of which we have a limited number of copies.
Yes, you can buy all three books on Amazon (just like you can buy a bicycle from Wal*Mart), but if you buy them from Bike Friday, the little extra profit will go directly to the authors, encouraging them to write more. All available from Bike Friday by calling 1-800-777-0258 or emailing service@bikefriday.com
Why not keep them together with a pair of exotic Bike Friday Bookends? Of course, you won't need bookends for RBR/Alan Bragman's e-book How To Travel With Your Bicycle

 AT the General Assembly of the Unitarian-Universalist church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I encountered another BF owner with quite a what do you do story. Photo is attached - that's a BF tandem on the cover of his wife's Mona's book. Fascinating story of their riding across India on the tandem.
