Sam Tracy cut his teeth as a bike mechanic at Wheel and Sprocket in Milwaukee. After earning a BA in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin he moved to Arcata, CA to serve as Managing Editor of the Auto-Free Times, a nonprofit quarterly. His first bicycle repair manual, How to Rock and Roll: A City Rider’s Repair Manual, written during this period, was published by Black Kettle Graphics in 2001.

Tracy later returned to manage Calhoun Rentals in Minneapolis, a complex and challenging mission demanding a thorough commitment to safe and effective low-cost repair techniques. Over the winters he worked as a mechanic at Calhoun Cycles, a recumbent bicycle specialty shop, becoming immersed in the lively and experimental DIY frame-building culture for which the ’bent enthusiasts are known.

After signing on with Speck Press to write Bicycle! A Repair & Maintenance Manifesto in 2003, Tracy migrated to the cycling mecca of San Francisco, working at the Freewheel, a high-end road shop. Speck subsequently published his third book, Roadside Bicycle Repair: A Pocket Manifesto in 2008. Tracy went on to spend two years as Office Manager for HomeStart, a non-profit dedicated to ending homelessness in the Boston area, before leaving with his wife to serve with the Peace Corps in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.

Tracy’s first and third books are out of print. PM Press released a new edition of his Manifesto in 2013. He and his wife, a U.S. diplomat, have in recent years cycled through Riga, Latvia; Georgetown, Guyana; Washington, D.C., and Pretoria, South Africa, lately with son Atticus, now age 7.
