Bike Snob Journal

This is not a diary or journal written by the Bike Snob as the original product description seemed to suggest when I pre-ordered it. It is instead two covers with nothing but primarily blank pages in between. Not that there's anything wrong with that, unless of course you bought it thinking that you were about to enjoy more of the Bike Snob's excellent writing as I did. Imagine my disappointment.To be fair, the product is accurately described as having 'plenty of space to record musings while cycling around the city or countryside' and that's all it has, space. It won't fit in any tool kit that I own, so my suggestion would be to save yourself some money and weight and carry your own blank paper instead. Or wait and buy this journal used. A used copy might have been used as a journal and have something interesting between the covers. Or just go ahead and buy it and support the Bike Snob so that he can continue to write more great books.But if you absolutely must have this to record your cycling experiences as you sit at the bike shop cafe beside your fixie, wearing your hand stitched wool cycling cap, drinking a craft brewed ale, and sketching new designs for your future arm tattoos while dreaming of moving to Portland, then by all means buy it. Be aware though that the Bike Snob may be watching.

Received this as a gift and found it quite amusing. I immediately thought of two fellow bike snobs who would also find it so. I was motivated to give this five stars because i thought it was quite clever and very enjoyable and I found the one star review snarky and irritating.

Its more like a gag gift.
