Bikes can take us on adventures to places near and far, but there are some worlds even the best adventure bike cannot get us to.

The Bicycling Coloring Book by Shan Jiang imagines creative science-fiction landscapes that can only be reached in its pages. Children and adults get the chance to fill in the colors to bring the bikes and far-out worlds to life, while taking a virtual ride that reduces stress.

Sure, the adult coloring book trend may have peaked, but who cares about trends when the recipient can color in an instant classic?

The Bicycle Coloring Book makes a great gift for young and old cyclists and colorists alike.
