  1. Readers of this review might be interested in exploring this web site (I am Annie’s great-grandnephew): http://www.annielondonderry.com. I’ve also written two book about her. The first, non-fiction, was “Around the World on Two
    Wheels: Annie Londonderry’s Extraordinary Ride (Citadel Press, 2007) and a novel, “Spin: A Novel Based on a (Mostly) True Story (Pegasus, 2021). It was a thrill to be in San Diego for the premiere of RIDE which does great justice to a very complex character.

      I’m currently reading your book, “Spin” and am enjoying it very much. I am a friend of your cousin in Idaho. This story and other ponderings have made me realize what a huge impact the bicycle had on women’s independence. And because of that, many people despised the bicycle movement as it pertained to women. No connection to Annie, but I have concluded that the witch in the Wizard of Oz was likely a pejorative rendering of social opinion to some extent. Annie’s accomplishment is truly amazing. Thank you.
