About the author










Tom Fucoloro is founder of Seattle Bike Blog (www.seattlebikeblog.com) and has served as editor since 2010. In 2015, Seattle Met magazine named him as one of "15 People Who Should Really Run Seattle," saying "With more than 100,000 hits per month, the blog has become Seattle's go-to source for news on greenway policy, traffic fatalities, and naked mass bike rides. Seattle cycling has changed in the four years since Fucoloro launched, largely thanks to his reporting." This is his first book.
