RUSL Bicycle

This is the best book available on this topic. Marilyn serves up a lot of paradigm bending ideas you need to hear with wit and humour. She's been at this fight at the grass roots level for decades. This book is collected from her zines published in the 90s. Easy, fun read. Everyone needs to read this underappreciated book!

This book is Awesome! It is short and easy to read. The writing quality is not high art literature by any means (Amy Babich, who wrote it, is a math teacher I believe) but it is a fun, page turner. And the ideas in this book are more than just important, they are essential. I wish everyone would read this book, it would make the world a better place if we could actually imagine the USA as a hopeful place to live. No other Sci Fi Fantasy I have read does that. It reminds me a lot of Ecotopia, by Callenbach. But it is better quality writing and the ideas are more profound. Both books are super ahead of their time (sadly, if we had paid attention to science and important things that matter, instead of gross consumption, and listened to the ideas in these books back when they were written, we would have already averted our Climate Change Crisis) I interviewed Amy about 20 years ago for a bicycle radio show in Vancouver. She was in Texas. Miriam Webster is a pseudonym, that she said she kind of regretted using, as it confuses people. Wonderful to talk to, so many great ideas. Super recommend. It is hard to get but because it is unknown it is very cheap, I keep buying copies as gifts for people, I can't remember how many I bought, but I will be buying more hard copies in the future. People need to read this. #EndCarEra

We are lucky to be alive to hear this right now
