About Lindsay's Joy Ride
Lindsay lives in a world of superheroes—except, that world is in her head. She wants more than anything to become a hero, reading comic books as research materials and training by fighting her teddy bears for practice. She’s even got the perfect arch-nemesis: her cousin, who pretty much has to be a supervillain. Will Lindsay be able to defeat Phoebe, or will her cousin’s evil plan come to fruition? ...Or, will it turn out completely different?
When Lindsay’s parents take off for an archaeological dig—such a comic book cliche!—Phoebe takes her young cousin in for the summer. But instead of menacing the world and robbing banks, the punk rocker-turned bike racer brings Lindsay along and into the world of Joyride, a bike park where kids really can fly.
Shy bookworm Lindsay will still have a chance to save the day, but only after meeting Ali and Jen and learning to ride—and how to make friends and stand up for herself. Everyone can be a superhero, but it’s a lot more fun when you’re not alone. And now, the Shred Girls are going to take the cycling world by storm. Pedal along for Lindsay’s Joy Ride, and get ready for more action-packed adventures that don’t stop when the bike race ends.

Meet the Real Life Shred Girls
One of the big things I wanted to do with this series, in addition to creating a fun fictional crew of girls, was to bring together the real life Shred Girls who inspire me on a daily basis. They all have amazing advice to share about different types of cycling, and with a new girl and new advice featured weekly, there's tons to be learned!
Trek Canada MTBer Soren Meeuwisse had some amazing words of wisdom: "One of the best pieces of advice I’ve been given for competing at a World Class level in mountain biking is that on race day, all you need to do is be your normal, excellent self. Many people when they go to compete at a new, higher level for the first time feel the need to perform and be better than they normally are. However, this may cause a worse performance than normal because of the added pressure and expectation you put on yourself. Remember: you got to this new level just by doing you, so you don’t have to be extraordinary. Just be your excellent self."
