Patty Wiens brings her inspiring story to the page with as much life and zest as she does in person. It's impossible to read her improbable journey of finding her passion for cycling and her voice for change without getting drawn into her vortex of positive energy and hope. After reading this book you may wind up thinking, "Hey, maybe I can do this too." -- Tom Babin, author of Frostbike and founder of the YouTube channel, Shifter "NIMBY arguments against bike infrastructure boil down to some form of 'that can't happen here,' or safe streets are inconvenient. Patty's writing and her life as a Winnipeg bike commuter answer loud and clear: 'if I can do it, so can you.'" -- Nick Richert, Bike Talk Original Host "Clear and actionable information born out of first-hand experience cycling through life and creating change." -- Tom Flood, Principal, Rovelo Creative "For Wiens, this infrastructure is tantamount to supporting social equity. She cites lower costs associated with biking, improved mental health, and access to different parts of the city that may be out of reach for those who do not own vehicles.


In holding conversations with people from different communities in researching her new book and for her podcast That's Her Problem!, Wiens also observes that having a robust active transportation network also increases social access for women." -- 'That'll Never Work Here' pedals into bookstores peddling winter cycling tips , Classic 107 FM.
