Revolutions: How Women Changed the World on Two Wheels by Hannah Ross
5.0
I enjoyed this deep dive book so much. Non cyclists would enjoy it but if you bike at all or want to, it’s a must read!
How did she fit in so many topics and stories?! The 2010’s parts about pro racer pay was eye opening. The amount of women who biked thru their pregnancies like I did… who have been harassed on their bikes like i have… who commute by bike like I do… bikes with their kiddos like i did.. I truly love all the details. The 1860-1900s parts inspired me to look up the infamous “legs” bike race illustration. No spoilers but she inspired me to do a long cycling tour. Feels like I discovered that I come from a long line of badass cycling ancestors I never knew that I had. I definitely see myself Re-listening to this one.
Last yr I did my first Triathlon at age 40. I had no prior swim or bike race experience but I LOVED it so much, primarily because it was an inclusive all women’s event, with so much care and support given especially to first time triathletes like myself. This is like the book version of that race weekend.
