During the COVID-19 pandemic, the streets are suddenly free of traffic, and a lot of folks are rediscovering bicycling\u2014you can tell by looking out the window, or at our order queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Books and zines about bicycling (and stickers… oh, the bike stickers<\/a>!) have long been Microcosm’s bread and butter. The interest never goes away, but it’s been way up lately. Here’s a list of (almost) all of the bike books and zines we publish<\/a>, and you can find everything bikey in our catalog here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here’s short list of our recommendations for people who are just getting with riding or wondering how we can sustain relatively car-free streets post-pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chainbreaker Bike Book<\/a> is our classic manual, now in its third edition. Learn to repair your bike (especially if it’s an older bike), and get inspired by the rich history of DIY bicycle culture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Adonia Lugo’s instant classic, Bicycle\/Race<\/em><\/a>, is a must-read for any aspiring or experienced bicycle advocate who wonders how we can work towards safe, inclusive transportation in a deeply unequitable system?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Everyday Bicycling<\/a><\/em> is your guide to getting started as a transportation cyclist, including tips on carrying everything from lumber to kids to cupcakes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Bikenomics<\/a> <\/em>is the definitive economic argument for investing in bicycle transportation at a personal and civic level. This is the one to give to your city councillor or business district development group, or just hone your own arguments for why bike-friendly streets make sense for everyone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The perspectives in True Trans Bike Rebel<\/em><\/a> about bicycling and walking from transgender and nonbinary authors and artists range from delightful to thought-provoking; all worthwhile reading for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider in the cycling world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
