Can you pedal your way through everything life throws at you?
Taking on the bicycle as a means of making sense of life and death, contributors write about their experiences on a bicycle, enjoying the little things about everyday life, dealing with the most difficult, and overcoming loss, trauma, and fear. Contributions range from the lyrical to the profane, the deeply personal to the keenly analytical. Includes essays, art, and a short story.

Praise for Cycletherapy:
"There's a strong connection between moving the body and soothing the heart, and these gorgeous essays by turns touching, defiant, and inspiring drive (or should I say ride) the point home. Whether you bike as a form of political resistance or as a means to cart your kids to school, you'll find something to connect to in this sweet, tough book." Katie Haegele, Slip of the Tongue and White Elephants
"They’re short, personal pieces, and include interviews, fiction, a diary, and information about bike zines. It’s one to dip into, and find something that touches you." Pro Women's Cycling
Praise for volumes in the previous series:
"The authors do not attempt to speak for everyone, and they do not attempt to convince; they simply share their own experiences and thoughts in a manner that is almost alarmingly unguarded in an era of self-conscious and self-defensive blog writing we are all growing increasingly used to." Constance Winters, Lovely Bicycle
