Sometimes, you start reading a book, and then you become afraid to pick it back up again. Because you know at some point it has to end, and you don't want that time to come. This was that book.
I needed this book, today of all days.

I adored the first book in this series, and can't wait to continue.

This has changed my perspective on winter, period, let alone winter biking.
Fair warning: Some parts of the book veer into toxic masculinity and perceptions od gender in a way that feels gross to me. For example, he talks about his feelings while riding a purple "girls" bike, and uses "whimpiness" more often than I preferred. His intention is to challenge conflating strength and winter, but his words still felt a bit yucky to my perspective.
That said, those passages are few and far between, and what remains is a good reflection on how we can rethink limits of what we can do during winter months in ways that let us stay physically and mentally fit.

I adored this book. For anyone who has ever questioned why they do what they do, personally or professionally, this is a must read. Also if you’ve never questioned.
Absolutely no reason at all whatsoever that I’m putting this on my reading list (cough, 2024 election).

Looking forward to this read from @shifter@video.candadiancivil.com . I'm still super nervous about winter biking, but I'm hopeful this can help me understand where my nerves are unfounded, or forged by a damaging car-only/centric culture, but also what steps I can take to safely bike throughout the year.

Interesting and necessary challenge to white people's reverence of MLK as a "nice" protestor, in opposition to others, i.e. Malcoln X. Historian Kellie Carter Jackson shows the value of different forms of refusal, including violent refusal, during various Black justice movements.
I do feel it lacked sufficient recognition of non-violence as still highly disruptive—that non-violence is the tool with which to disrupt, and the value of non-violence, when wielded as a weapon, can potently expose the violence of others. Jackson rightly criticizes that Black liberation is painted as an either or—violence, or non-violence—but it felt to me that, in doing so, it went too far to devalue non-violence as also non-disruptive.
I do have a huge critique on the audiobook production. There were weird, frequent pauses mid-sentence. It was hugely distracting.
I highly recommend this book, but maybe print or e-reading for this one, if you can.
