I'm the executive editor of Bicycling magazine. I'm also the author of the forthcoming "Lost Rights: The Misadventures of a Stolen American Relic," set to be released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in July 2009. The book tells the true story of the theft and surreal journey of an original copy of the Bill of Rights--an artifact worth $30 million. The story weaves from a Civil War looting episode to the attics of one of the top antiques dealers in the country to the secret plotting of the FBI; it winds up with some dramatic moments in a Philadelphia skyscraper.
