«Petite philosophie du vélo» is Bernard Chambaz's essay linking cycling and philosophy, published by Flammarion in paperback (130 pages, in French).
Starting from the question of what a cyclist thinks during hours of pedalling, Bernard Chambaz argues that cycling and ideas are not separate. In fifty short chapters he reflects on movement, space, duration and effort, and connects the cyclist's experience with thinkers such as Kant, Spinoza, Heidegger or Husserl, presenting the bicycle as an object that extends our being and invites us to think.
The work belongs to Flammarion's Champs essais collection. Originally published in French, it appeared on 12 March 2014.
Aimed at cycling enthusiasts and readers interested in philosophy applied to everyday experiences; also for those who want to discover a reflective side of sport.
