I like telling stories about life, mostly about bikes and life, as it turns out. I wrote the books Ten Points: A Memoir, Tour de Lance, co-wrote We Might As Well Win with Johan Bruyneel, and created other stuff such as The Quotable Cyclist, Mountain Biking: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Ride and On Being a Writer. Various editions of those have been translated into Dutch, German, Hebrew and Japanese. I’m the editor-at-large for Bicycling magazine, and have published stories in Mountain Bike, Men’s Health, Men’s Journal, Parenting, Parents, Backpacker, Rouleur, Embrocation Cycling Journal, The Indianapolis Star, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times Book Review and other magazines and newspapers, and I’ve commented on cycling, memoirs and other topics for Good Morning America, The Early Show, The CBS Morning Show, Entertainment Tonight, AC360, The Larry King Show, CBS Sports, ESPN, NPR and other networks. I race road and cyclocross for an amateur club, Kapelmuur Independent, just a little bit and not very well. Somewhere along the way I got a Wikipedia entry, although I ought to point out that despite such a primary source claiming I have been disambiguated, I don’t feel that way at all. The best way to correspond with me is @TrueBS, though you ought to know going in I’m not at all that adept at social media. I’m much better at anti-social media, like writing, or reading, or, sometimes, speaking a few lines from a poem while pedaling up some awful climb. Animals, by Frank O’Hara, is one that’s good for that. I guess I should also admit that I punctuate, especially with commas, by sound and rhythm instead of grammatical rules, which is a terrible way to do it but the only way that makes me happy.
