Seconding the recommendation for the Burglar's Guide book, it's very good, as is the blog.

The essay reminds me very much of how my perspective on urban space changed when I started bicycling around my city, and ow it changed my relationship with the space. The city got smaller, and I got into a relationship with the topography -- hills relate to cycling more profoundly than to walking or driving.
