Metal Cowboy

I recently finished Metal Cowboy by Joe Kurmaskie. I wasn't super excited about it, since I've read his Mud, Sweat, and Gears and only thought it okay. Metal Cowboy proved to be much more interesting. It was a set of unrelated stories (one story per chapter) about Kurmaskie's bicycle travels over several years. He clearly picked the best stories and carefully crafted them into little pieces of art full of humor and great insight into human character.
