About the Author Ethan Gelber
An unapologetically native New Yorker,
Ethan first landed in Paris in 1987 for a
college semester of overseas study. He hit
the ground, wheels already spinning, with
all the grace of a deflated soufflé. Twenty
years later, after a long stint organising and
guiding trips for a France-based bike tour
operator, a down-and-out-worthy series of
odd jobs and friends in Paris, untold thousands of kilometres in the saddle in over
40 countries and hundreds of thousands of
words written about it all, hes amused to
think that its all come down to this book.
Ethan now resides in Australia with Jane
and Rohan, happy with the knowledge he
can begin a new chapter in life.
