Hardcover. Montreal's network of bicycle paths and the love that Quebeckers have for the bicycle might be completely different today if it weren't for one exceptional man and his merry bunch of revolutionary cyclists. Bicycle Bob and the Bike Revolution follows the story of Robert Silverman and Claire Morissette, who introduced what appeared to be crazy ideas about sustainable mobility in a world that was, at that time, completely dominated by gas cars. This band of bike misfits used hilarious peaceful protests aimed at rethinking the car's place at the heart of a gas-guzzling carbon economy and succeeded in orchestrating a complete shift towards the bicycle. Written by Josh Freed, well-known Montreal columnist and writer, and illustrated by Satoji, this children's album tells the funny and endearing story of Bob and Claire who profoundly transformed the people around them and revolutionized our daily commute. Bicycle Bob and the Bike Revolution tells the inspiring and funny true story of Robert Silverman and Claire Morissette, two visionary cyclists whose joyful activism transformed car-clogged Montreal into a city that pedals toward a greener future. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Key Selling Point
- Amazing advocacy actions that really took place: Bicycle Bob really painted bicycle paths when there were none.
- Bicycle Bob really promoted the idea of having 10,000 free bicycles in the city for everyone to use, that today is the foundation for BIXI in Montreal and the inspiration of bikesharing services everywhere in the world.
- Bicycle Bob really brought a couch in the subway to highlight that you could bring everything but a bicycle in the subway.

About the Author
Josh Freed is an author, syndicated newspaper columnist, filmmaker, and playwright. He has won the prestigious Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour and two National Newspaper Awards as Canada's best columnist. Josh has written nine previous books, including the best-selling Anglo Guide To Survival in Quebec and Moonwebs, which became the United Artists Classics, Genie-award winning film Ticket To Heaven. He has written and directed 25 documentary films for the CBC, that were broadcast in over 50 countries and won numerous awards. His latest comic play The Four Anglos of the Covidapocalypse sold out for three weeks in late 2021, also starring legendary Canadian cartoonist Terry Mosher. In 2019, Josh won Quebec’s Victor Goldbloom Distinguished Community Service Award - largely for making people laugh.
Satoji (Vicky Amos) always enjoyed drawing whimsical and imaginative characters as a kid, be they anthropomorphic animals or expressive humans. She was born in Gaspé and studied visual arts at Cégep de Ste-Foy in Quebec City and comic art and graphic design in Gatineau. These experiences helped her develop her own personal style and technique using mostly graphic storytelling methods. A lover of nature, she’s often seen by a river or by the sea, on foot or on a bike. She now lives in Rimouski with her spouse and a cat. She’s a freelance illustrator, part-time art teacher and also works in an art gallery. Bicycle Bob and the Bike Revolution is her first illustrated children's book, drawn digitally on the ipad.
