Bike Utah’s Book Club

Bike Utah envisions a Utah where everyone can ride regardless of age, ability, race, or income. A critical part of our efforts in creating a more inclusive riding community is Bike Utah’s Book Club. Our book club will be curated with a series of articles, essays, and books; supporting our journey to educate ourselves on a deeper level of the barriers to cycling people may face in regards to race, sex, ability, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Our reading of the month was Honoring the Founding Mothers of Biking During Women’s History Month, an article detailing the history of women and bicycling from three key figures: Kittie Knox, Annie “Londonderry” Kopchovsky, and Maria E. Ward. We invited staff to share their reflections or response to this month’s readings below:

Join us for our next reading, Bike Lanes Are White Lanes by Melody L. Hoffmann. Stay tuned for a written discussion to be held during Bike Month 2021.
