Book Review: Revolutions

If you know me and follow me on Twitter, you know that I am a huge cycling enthusiast.  However, I don’t read many books about cycling because most of them tend to focus on privileged, white male cyclists, and tend they tend to focus more on the sport rather than recreational cycling.  I happen to be in my local bookstore Brookline Booksmith and found Revolutions: How Women Changed The World On Two Wheels by Hannah Ross.

It’s a great book about the many untold stories of women and girls around the world who fought for the right to ride a bike and gender equity by defying stereotypes and finding freedom for themselves.

I found the book highly enjoyable and accessible!

Live music with my friends on New Year’s Eve (and the Twilight Zone marathon, of course).  We will also be watching Madonna’s legendary “Girlie Show” concert in HD. Here’s my updated playlist.

Let’s Go!
