Bikes + Books = <3
May 11, 2021
Bike Season is back in Montréal!
Here are some of our favourite bike books.
Of course we must begin with a graphic novel!
Sophie Yanow’s wonderful The Contradictions features stories about growing up, traveling in Europe, philosophical questions about life, and of course, bikes!
Elly Blue's Bikenomics provides a insight on how using our two wheels to get around contributes to ways that we spend our money, as families and as a society. It is a story of people, businesses, organizations, and cities who are investing in transportation en vélo.
The first of a few books by Elie Blue that we're featuring here!
The Bike Repair Book is what it alludes to be: a one-stop guide to simple bicycle repairs and quick fixes.
Fourteen stories (and one comic!!) which feature dragons and cyclists: from the great, winged, fire-breathing lizards of the west to the wise, to flying serpents of the east.
Dragon Bike is another title edited by Elly Blue.
For folks just getting into cycling: Everyday Bicycling.
Lastly, we bring you Bikes Not Rockets, edited by Elly Blue which is a collection of intersectional, feminist bike sci-fi tales.
All of the books feature are available from our online store, and yes, we deliver by bike in Montreal!
Happy Reading & Happy Riding <3
