About the Author
Oliver Carbonell has been riding bikes since he was 6 years old. Riding a bicycle is one of the most useful and enjoyable skills he has ever learned. As an avid cyclist, he uses his bikes for commuting, running errands, travelling and on occasion, racing. One of his more memorable experiences on a bike is a ride across Costa Rica on his mountain bike where he was able to ride through jungles, climb up a volcano, and pedal through small, mountain-top villages. Hoping that more people learn to ride and use bicycles as a form of transportation and enjoyment, Oliver teaches people of all ages to ride, primarily on his own, but on occasion, with the organization Bike New York. He writes about cycling on his blog www.dailybicycle.com and lives in New York City.
