Interesting, amusing and disturbing short stories imagining life in our dystopian future. Bikes and feminism make excellent partners.

Four stars mostly for being able to compile so many solid short stories involving zombies and bicycles. The writing was decent; as with many anthologies, some stories stood out more than others.
Taking a star off because I expected more explicitly feminist / political themes based on the title.

I absolutely love this collection. Aside from one story, they feel like they could all be different people's experiences in one fictional universe. Many of the stories perfectly critique the social acceptance of women, sexuality, and bicycles themselves.

Considering that I got this book for free (I won it in a raffle package at Geek Girl Con) I was actually pleasantly surprised. The theme is so absurd but for the most part I enjoyed the stories and it was fun to read around Halloween!
