15. "Let it Bleed" a John Rebus mystery by Ian Rankin, but thanks to niyad

I am reading a fascination non-fiction book, Women On The Move: The Forgotten Era Of Women's Bicycle Racing by Roger Gilles. niyad posted this in the Bicycling group Thursday. I read the article she linked and immediately order it. Got it yesterday and Mr. Rankin got set aside.

Edit: This book which is resurrecting the story of these great athletes at the turn of the 19th Century is just one of the many stories that are coming out about women doing great things and forgotten by history. I am thinking of the rocket women and the British code breakers. Sort of a "Them Too!" thing happening. Anyway it makes me proud to be the son of one of those "rocket women."
