Going for a walk on one of the country trails and ending with a good hummus, is something that quite a few of us do on a regular basis. But now comes the book that sheds light on this Israeli hobby. In
"Riding for the hummus: terrain bike tracks, hummus and everything in between"
, 18 track collections are offered from south to north, for off-road riding throughout Israel and a good hummus waiting for the end of each track.

The book was written by
Yaron Gutmark
, and the planning and photography of the routes was documented by
Yoav Lavi
- Two electronics engineers, graduates of the Technion, who connect their love of bicycles, nature trips and hummus.
Yaron, being a fan of the written word, dreamed of incorporating into the book the world of riding and hummus that he loves so much.
He was joined by Yoav, who made a professional transition to cycling instruction in nature and photography, and together they rode, ate and wrote, and thus the book was born.
"I love hummus and bicycles, and I quickly realized that these two loves are connected - towards the end of the ride I am already starting to think about the hummus of the end," Yaron explains how the idea for writing the book began.
"At some point, the idea of writing a book about this winning recipe for bicycles and chickpeas began to ripen in me."

Dilemma: How to choose the chickpeas in the book?
One of the dilemmas that preoccupied Yaron was how to choose the chickpeas he would write about.
So he built a questionnaire to check the quality of the chickpeas according to various parameters (taste, variety of dishes, service, curd and more) and gave each chickpea a rating of between 3 and 5 grains.
Regarding bicycle routes, this is where Yoav enters the story, who is an expert in knowing the country and a rider and instructor of off-road bicycles, and on the way also a talented photographer.
Yoav and Yaron chose the routes while pedaling them and tried not to ignore urban routes that receive a place of honor in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - from the hummus powers - as well as in other cities.
