SHEEP FOOTBALL (and other strange tales from rural America), features several amusing chapters about cycling. In “Bear with Me,” a weary rider gets chased by a hungry bear...and a pteradactyl!? In “Up, Up and Away,” a superhero who can’t fly rides a bicycle instead. And “Two Wheels Good” humorously celebrates commuting to work by bicycle. This collection of fiction and nonfiction (and a couple poems) also includes nature writing and natural history of interest to hikers and farmers. Many tales are previously published, including the award-winning essay “Peeking Behind the Page.”
 Two dozen stories in all.
