Being Gary Fisher: Autobiography (Hardback)

Meet Gary Fisher — the maverick racer, counterculture icon and restless innovator who helped spark a global cycling revolution. From tearing up the kid‑bike racing scene to diving head‑first into the Acid Test era and lighting up Grateful Dead gigs, Fisher’s early life was as unconventional as the bikes he would later reinvent.

Being Gary Fisher and the Bicycle Revolution, created in collaboration with cycling writer Guy Kesteven, is part autobiography, part cultural history and part wild ride through decades of creativity, chaos and visionary thinking. Fisher’s relentless tinkering transformed the cycling industry, selling the idea of mountain biking to the world long before it became mainstream — and he’s still pushing for a future where bikes make life healthier, happier and more connected.

Packed with ingenious innovations, outrageous stories and Fisher’s trademark boundless energy, this book invites you into the mind of a true original. Get swept up in his crazy tales, his big ideas and his lifelong mission to bring everyone into the greatest dance on earth: the joy of riding a bike.
