Taj Mihelich just finished a book of cartoons called Back Before They Invented Open Face Helmets. It is a collection of work from the last few years and a handful of new things. There is a lot of bicycle humor and he wrote a few essays. The book is 164 pages which you can order from Taj directly.

From the back cover:
This book is 164 pages of my cartoons and doodles. There is a bunch of bicycle comics (including a number from Sunday Comics with Taj series on Pinkbike), lots of low-brow humor, dad jokes, questionable puns, and some things that are probably only funny to me. There's a few things I'm actually serious about, but hopefully you can't tell, and even a few essays. I call it a collection of not-too-artsy-fartsy work I've done over the last few years (though, there are a few fart jokes).

I have been blessed to ride with a number of the world’s most amazing bike riders. They tend to have very different takes on riding and what they are trying to accomplish. One thing they seem to have in common is a drive to test their resolve.
