one of my favorite things to do on a beautiful sunny day is to ride my bike and lay in the park to read. i love reading and i do a lot of it. one book i’m really hooked on lately is Jeff Mapes’, Pedaling Revolution, which explores the growing urban bike culture that is changing the look and feel of cities across the U.S. he rides with bike advocates who are taming the streets of New York City, joins the street circus that is Critical Mass in San Francisco, and gets inspired by the everyday folk pedaling in Amsterdam, including the nirvana of American bike activists. it’s a great book for bringing forth awareness and activism onto the roads and certainly one that i strongly recommend for ladies that are passionate about changing the roads and cities for a better future.
