"Blue isn't talking about 'fixing' the economy we have right now.
Instead, she's talking about looking to a different future." --A.K.
Streeter, treehugger.com
"Blue's book helped me better frame my own reasons for riding, and
got me thinking a lot about what a more bike-centered future could
look like. It's a future, I realized, I'd really like to see."
--Dick VanderHart, "Portland Mercury"
"Blue's approach is down-to-earth, practical, and kind." --Sarah
Goodyear, "The Atlantic Cities"
"Blue's book is rational, fully footnoted--and, in the main,
persuasive." --Ben Schiller, "Fast Company"
"It's a call to action, pointing out multiple ways that dollars
currently spent in the service of the car can better better spent
to serve people. She makes her case clearly and both passion and
data inform the book. [...] This small book is an inspiration to
step away from the automobile and to bicycle forward into a
quieter, brighter, better world." --Kent Peterson, Kent's Bike Blog
