Tiffany Lam fell in love with bicycling while living in Washington, DC, reveling in the freedom to get around the city, liberation from street harassment, and connecting with her community and with other cyclists, especially as part of her local advocacy group's "Roll Model" program. After writing her masters dissertation on the gender gap in cycling, she was motivated to share her own story and those of other women bicyclists. This zine collects diverse women's perspectives on their experience getting around on two wheels and is sure to motivate, activate, and inspire you to get out there—not just to ride, but to reach out to others and build a better bicycle community!
