Another Bikes in Space classic

This book warmed my heart - the final short story by Elly Blue may just be one of my favorite shorts of all time!
Feminist, Fantastical Tales of Books and Bikes Bikes in Space
160 pages
English language
Published Dec. 7, 2023 by Microcosm Publishing.
The power of the pedal and the page shine through in these ten joyfully feminist science fiction and fantasy stories. Two strangers and their bike fall through a plot hole and into a fantasy novel, an author attempts to chronicle the solar cycling trend, a sixth grader's beloved novel is stolen by a horde of bicycling fae, an interstellar book preservationist takes a bike to fit in and gets a wilder ride than she bargained for, and more adventures are set in imagined realities not so different from our own futures, pasts, and present-day lives.
Take these stories for a spin and enjoy an escape from the perils of everyday sexism and fossil fuel dependence.
Includes stories by Kathleen Jowitt, Christopher R. Muscato, Shelby Schwieterman, Cara Brezina, Jamie Perrault, Avery Vanderlyle, Lisa Timpf, Taru Luojola, Rose Strickman, and Elly Blue.
