When you plant the seeds of bicycle revolution, you never know what the future will grow.

These 12 stories form a splendid garden of potential futures, from the speculative to the surreal—all powered by bicycles, grounded in feminism, and blossoming with creativity.

In these pages you'll find activist trees, magical flowers, feminist fairy tales, climate parables, photosynthesising human-bicycle cyborgs, revolutionary elves, dazzling space gardens, green witchcraft, and more to delight your imagination. Lovers of cli-fi, solarpunk, hopepunk, and feminist bicycle science fiction will all find something to love here. You'll never see the streets, or plants, around you the same way again.

Featuring stories by Kathryn Reilly, Marta Pelrine-Bacon, Cass Wilkinson Saldaa, Amanda McNeil, Ella P. Francis, Lisa Timpf, Bee Toothman, Kelley Tai, Jennifer Lee Rossman, J.D. Harlock, Kathryn Reese, and special guests.

This Is Your Bike on Plants offers an array of stories that inspire and captivate, inviting readers into a world where cycling and nature intertwine in extraordinary ways.
