Описание:

It wasnt surprising when the first abandoned bicycles were found along the dirt roads and farmland just across the border from Tijuana, but before long they were arriving in droves. The bikes went from curiosity, to nuisance, to phenomenon. But until they caught the eye of journalist Kimball Taylor, only a small cadre of human smugglers--coyotes--and migrants could say how or why theyd gotten there.This is the story of 7,000 bikes that made an incredible journey and one young man from Oaxaca who arrived at the border with nothing, built a small empire, and then vanished.

Taylor follows the trail of the border bikes through some of societys most powerful institutions, and, with the help of an unlikely source, he reconstructs the rise of one of Tijuanas most innovative coyotes. Touching on immigration and globalization, as well as the history of the US/Mexico border, The Coyotes Bicycle is at once an immersive investigation of an outrageous occurrence and a true-crime, rags-to-riches story.
