Rereading blog posts on a western WA bike tour we took in 2018 makes me want to put in more bike mileage to get ready to tour again.

If you have links to stories about good tours in WA or OR I'd love to get them. I also have Cycling Sojourner guides to WA + OR, a bit dated now on some info but still helpful on routes.

Overview + links to individual trip posts: https://bikestylelife.com/2018/06/08/bike-touring-northwest-washington-state-how-our-bike-ferry-train-loop-worked-out/

There are layers of recommendations in this photo.

Find a nice spot to sit by the sea and listen to the waves and grab the binoculars when an interesting bird or boat passes by and sip on some wine and read Revolutions (a fascinating history of women and cycling).

Planning to get books for kids you love? A list of ones that highlight walking, bicycling, and riding transit https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/185031.Sustainable_Mobility_For_Kids. What would you add?

Updated my list of books on bicycling by women, for women. Gratitude to @JillsJoy @footsteps @dalestrumpell @PedalHoppy @ThomM @adamrice @BigGrove @reinierl for your great suggestions. I stuck to books in English.

An incomplete list, I'm sure, of books by women, for women, on bicycling: http://bikestylespokane.com/2024/03/01/bike-books-i-recommend-women-on-wheels/

Tell me what I missed!

[Edited to add: "For women" not meant to suggest that anyone of any gender wouldn't be interested in the history and thinking in these books. "Women" inclusive of trans women and nonbinary people; any books like that out there?]

Where I'll be Feb. 15 with Seattle Bike Blog founder Tom Fucoloro, talking about his book Biking Uphill in the Rain: The Story of Seattle from behind the Handlebars: https://www.squeakywheels.org/2024/01/09/an-evening-with-biking-uphill-in-the-rain-author-and-publisher-of-seattle-bike-blog-tom-fucoloro/.

Please boost if you or any of your connections here are anywhere in the vicinity of Bainbridge Island and Seattle area.

Honestly not a gift guide, but this list of books I own on bicycle art, cartoons, and miscellany wouldn't be a bad starting point to pick something out for the riders you know.

What's your favorite book to give the rider who has all the how-to books they need?
