Women Bike Resource Library
Women Bike wants to ensure that advocates and the public have quick and easy access to the best and most vital resources related to women's cycling. In 2013, we'll build a comprehensive Women Bike Resource Library with both original materials and helpful lists of key reads. Stay tuned as our library grows, and contact carolyn@bikeleague.org if you have a resource to share.
