The Bikes of New York ($8.99, 48 pages) is an original science-fiction novella from Cheeseburger Brown, author of Simon of Space, Sensible Flying Shoes, and The Darth Side. It is the story of Luc Drapeau, immigrant and father, living in the midst of a global energy crisis. He feels the throb of civilization through the soles of his shoes, and it isn't his imagination: in Manhattan every sidewalk bounces to harness every footfall for the public energy pool, every recoil channeled to the island’s banks of giant flywheels turning underground to keep the lights lit. The poor ride generator bicycles to power the cities, working for coins with their sweat. They dare not let the pace slacken. To lose momentum is to let joules fall down the well, and to go home hungry. It’s a hard life. But Luc Drapeau is about to change the bikes forever. Order your copy now!
