reviewed Bicycles & Broomsticks by Elly Blue (Bikes in Space)

Everything I hoped for

If you are a fan of sci-fi and appreciate bicycles, then you need to check out the "Bikes in Space" series that Elly Blue has been putting out through Microcosm Publishing. They are collections of short science fiction stories that feature bicycles and are also told through a feminist/queer lens. Each edition in this series has a unique feature - this one is about witches, but others have been about cats, zombies, dragons, etc.

This is just the coolest series. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
