"[Review Quote] """"Ever since bicycles were invented, women have been riding them, for sport, fun, entertainment, and revolution. April Streeter's careful research and spirited writing capture the wild, weird, wonderful, and serious story of bicycling through the perspective of these highly skilled riders whose stories have been all but lost to history--until now."""" - Elly Blue, author of Bikenomics and Everyday Bicycling [Review Quote] """"Comprehensive, well researched, and inquisitive, Women on Wheels is a revelation about the perseverance of women determined to cycle despite being shut out, too often, by men. Wheels opens with Streeter wondering why cycling in her bike friendly town of Portland, Oregon had become so competitive. Where was the joy? Where does a woman who ""wants only to ride,"" fit in a testosterone-heavy field of Lance Armstrong wanna-be's? And we are off, as readers, on the adventure of the history of cycling from the point of view of women and their efforts to participate on their own terms. Inspiring, maddening, and thought provoking, Wheels asks important questions about this necessary mode of transportation and invites us to rethink our own attitudes about using two wheels instead of four."""" - Jennifer Lauck, author of the NYT bestseller Bluebird"
