Pedal Zombies: Thirteen Feminist Bicycle Science Fiction Stories
The zombie apocalypse will be pedal-powered! In the not-so-distant future, when gasoline is no longer available, humans turn to two-wheeled vehicles to transport goods, seek glory, and defend their remaining communities. In another version of the future, those with the zombie virus are able to escape persecution and feel almost alive again on two wheels. In yet another scenario, bicycles themselves are reanimated and roam the earth. In the third volume of annual feminist bicycle science fiction series, Bikes in Space, 12 talented writers bring their diverse visions to this volume: sometimes scary, sometimes spooky, sometimes hilarious, always on two wheels.

Praise for this book
The collection does a superlative job. The 13 short stories that follow are the feminist bicycle science fiction stories I've been waiting for my entire life, without even knowing it. This is not an exaggeration. They're just really, really good. At multiple points in my reading, I found myself drawing hearts in the margins or laughing out loud with sheer delight. The feminism reflected in these pages is my feminism: intelligent, inclusive, and women-centered. --Autostraddle Badass women on bikes in dystopian futures? What's not to love? --Pro Women's Cycling Yep, all our lives needed to be complete was a bunch of feminist stories featuring badass heroines, zombies and bicycles...this anthology is so smart and sassy that (a) it doesn't need training wheels and (b) the only thing it requires is your brainnnnssss... --Mooky Chick
