Reviews
"The stories in this volume vary between those that take place in space or on other planets, and those that are still based on earth, either preceding, during, or after an apocalyptic event of some sort. But all of the stories share a common theme in addition to including a bicycle--they're all stories with an element of hope." - Dawn Vogel, Mad Scientist Journal [Review Quote] ""Elly Blue clearly knows how to get there and has sought out writers who are witty, funny and craft tender, engaging stories with characters I can relate to who take up the challenges in their lives while riding bicycles."" - Nat, Fit is a Feminist Issue
