Redesign of Chainbreaker, a hand-illustrated and accessible introduction to the world of bike repair. Through working at assorted bike shops in New Orleans, the co-authors gathered a wealth of experience, then share it with would-be mechanics in this book.

The first half of this book is a complete repair manual to get you started on choosing, fixing, and riding your bike. The second half reprints all four issues of Chainbreaker zine, whose originals were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
