From the great, winged, fire-breathing lizards of the west to the wise, flying serpents of the east, dragons play a powerful role in our myths and imaginations. In these fourteen stories and one comic, bicyclists encounter a diversity of dragons, whether foes or friends, hoarders or helpers, powerful symbols or terrifying and very real beasts. Instead of stereotypical tales of heroes saving helpless princesses from cruel monsters, these stories are populated by empowered people facing complicated dilemmas and fantastical quests.Includes work by Jennifer Lee Rossman, M. Lopes da Silva, Monique Cuillerier, Gretchin Lair, Kate Macdonald, Alice Pow, Sarena Ulibarri, Paul Abbamondi, Joyce Chng, Taru Luojola, Phil Cowhig, J. Rohr, J.A. Sabangan, C.G. Beckman, and J.A.

Twelve writers tackle extreme utopias and dystopias―and the grey areas in between―in Biketopia, the fourth volume of the Bikes in Space series of feminist science fiction stories about bicycling. Some find love and fierce resistance in the end times; others imagine an ecological future of saving technology, with solarpunk ecotopian visions, at times paired with crushing social control. Whatever your own future or present reality, these stories will motivate and inspire you to envision something different... and maybe even better.

Death & Grief

A three-year-old rider scoots his push bike confidently through the mountains and mud, puddles and rain, and through a desertscape studded with cactus. He proudly puts on his favorite helmet as he rides with his dog, with his brother, and with his entire family. Zoom! is an adventure book suitable for children ages 6 months to 4 years, filled with the colorful artwork of Kellie Day and the fun, endearing rhymes created by its authors, Jennifer Charrette and Marcia Kinne. Aimed at showing children what it means to live bravely and passionately, it follows the story of an active, happy youngster and his adventures on a balance bike- a type of first bike that kids propel by running rather than pedaling. The book sports a foreword from professional bicycle champion George Hincapie. Zoom! is written to honor Axel Charette, a young boy murdered while his family was vacationing in Mexico. Zoom! is a tribute, and celebrates Axel's memory by helping other families to discover and embrace bicycling as a family activity--and a way to keep moving forward through life.
