Bikes Not Rockets: Intersectional Feminist Bicycle Science Fiction Stories by Elly Blue

4.0

This was a decent collection, 4 stars on average. I liked some stories more than others. Sufficiently intersectional. It was fun to do a meta-analysis on "bicycle as literary symbol", as it was represented in each story. I also appreciated the multiple instances of queer women bicycle collectives just existing for the betterment of community. The most common symbolic usage of the bicycle was as a symbol of freedom, something that I've always felt on my own bike. Looking forward to reading more of these collections.
