Review
“Shelley and Ethan obviously put a great deal of time and energy into not only riding and thinking about bicycles, but also examining their relationship to them. With warmth, charm, and knowledge to spare,
Chainbreaker gives the joy of bicycle maintenance back to who it belongs: The People. One of the most inspiring, dedicated projects in the world of independent publishing.” -Golnar Nikpour,
MAXIMUMROCKNROLL“Shelley is enthusiastic about all aspects of bike culture. Her writing is packed with personal stories, advice, and historical information on bikes. A great read for anyone who is into bikes or wants to learn more about today’s DIY bike culture.” -Sean Stuart,

Product Description
Here’s a hand-illustrated and accesible introduction to the world of bike repair. Through working at both Plan B Bike Project and French Quarter Bicycles in New Orleans, our co-authors have gathered a wealth of experience to share with would-be mechanics. The first half of this book is a complete repair manual to get you started on choosing, fixing, and riding your bike. The second half reprints all four issues of
Chainbreaker zine, whose originals were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
