I read it and liked most of it. I think Grant goes to some places I wouldn't, especially in the areas of food and helmets. But I found it mostly informative and entertaining.
Reading it, I was reminded of how blessed I am to live in a city where living car-free and relying on a bicycle for primary transportation is actually possible -- and how far behind Portland so many cities remain in developing human-scale infrstraucture. I've tried nearly everything -- from Randonneuring to racing -- and these days I find I am mostly content to ride my bike for transportation and pleasure at slower speeds. Much of what's in the book applies to folks who want to Just Ride. In the landscape of too many books and magazines exhorting us to pour ourselves into lycra, strap on the heart-rate monitors and emulate elite racers at every opportunity (so that bike shops can sell more carbon-fiber racing bikes and recoup their investments on all that R & D -- sorry, that's my bike industry cynicism at work), *Just Ride* is a breath of fresh air.
