    • Ostre koło to jednocześnie najprawdziwsza maszyna wyścigowa, wół roboczy kuriera rowerowego jak i, dla wielu, wybór estetyczny. Każdy rower tego typu jest manifestem indywidualności jego twórcy, wyróżniającym go spośród setek zwyczajnych rowerzystów stłoczonych na drogach rowerowych wielkich miast. Istnienie globalnej kultury ostrego koła stało się faktem. Ostre koło - globalna kultura to pierwsza książka mająca tę kulturę udokumentować. Łączy ze sobą kwestie nieszablonowego designu, torowego rodowodu oraz indywidualności i niepowtarzalności poszczególnych maszyn. Wyjaśnia, co tak naprawdę łączy gwiazdy kolarstwa torowego, kurierów, trickowców, fanatyków i graczy w bike polo na całym świecie z artystami, projektantami i konstruktorami zainspirowanymi tym zjawiskiem. Poprzez wywiady i zdjęcia, czerpiąc z samych źródeł, opowiada o wyjątkowości tych rowerów - pokazuje formę, opisuje funkcjonalność, przybliża styl i filozofię, która dla wielu stała się wręcz stylem życia. Książka zawiera 378 ilustracji.
