Throw in a bike. The result? Heft on Wheels, a potently funny look at turning your life around, one insanely unrealistic goal at a time.<br><br>Not that long ago, Mike Magnuson was a self-described lummox with a bicycle. In the space of three months, he lost seventy-five pounds, quit smoking, stopped drinking, and morphed from the big guy at the back of the pack into a lean, mean cycling machine. Today, Mike is a 175-pound athlete competing in some of the most difficult one-day racing events in America. This irreverent and inspiring memoir charts every hilarious detail of his transformation, from the horrors of skin-tight XXL biking shorts to the miseries of nicotine withdrawal. <br><br><i>Heft on Wheels</i> is an unforgettable book about getting from one place to another, in more ways than one. 217478 24 5 2005 Heft on Wheels: A Field Guide to Doing a 180 total:65|5:0|4:1|3:1|2:2|1:0| 65 233 83 22 5 2 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 07:13:03 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 14:40:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 09:03:08 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 09:10:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 23 10:48:39 -0800 2009 Fri Jun 12 11:36:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false true Sat Dec 13 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Aug 03 13:12:31 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 13 15:17:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 07:12:54 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 07:57:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Oct 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 01 19:51:33 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 14 20:19:08 -0700 2009 Lumox, aptly named.
