Short stories are great when you don't feel you have enough attention span for a whole novel - and as soon as I saw this compilation existed I had to buy it. Science Fiction, Feminism, Bicycles: it's almost like it was made just for me. Some of the stories resonated with me, others less so, some felt a bit dated but others completely fresh and new. And I particularly liked the closing tale of bikes fished from Amsterdam's canals. The reviews at the end were the most mediocre part of the book: but find that this is in fact only one of s series of volumes has me thinking of looking out the others too. Thank you Elly Blue… (més)

Yes, it really is dystopian/utopian SF with bicycles. In a few stories, the bikes are incidental, but in many of them the bikes are freedom. Not just a symbol of freedom, but an escape from danger or a path to safety that isn't dependent on gasoline or money or permission.

Well worth a read.

I don't like cycling. I've been avoiding it for at least 10 years and the thought of it makes me feel a bit queasy. But I would like to be a person who does it, because it's super practical and idk I like the aesthetics tbh. Which made this a great book to read. It answers many of my questions, such as "why are bikes", "how??" and "did the author ever get distracted by a noise, causing them to ride into a wall". Good book.

Bicycling can make the world go 'round, and could give your local economy a boost.
