While we wait for more structured bio material for Ms. Zielinski, the famous Canadian sustainability advocate, we thought you might like to here a sample of her voice (that's her with the others toward the end). ( Click the musical note to play a sample from the first-ever CD by the world's only Choir on Bikes, a Zielinski production. Note: You need Real Player to play this sample. Sound may take a couple of minutes to load depending on your computer)

In addition to her activities as a social activist, creative bureaucrat and politician, she has also found time to write a number of articles and books about people, cars and cites. Among them are Beyond the Car: Essays on the Auto Culture (1995, Editor), Auto-Eroticism: Cars Are Us (1991) Bicycles: Wheels of Change (1988), all of which are available here in our ECFD Bookshop.

Some doubt her poetical abilities. Major error, as the following verse penned by her in a sublime moment of divine inspiration will certainly attest:


Bicyclized Ode To Joy
Detour Publications Bells are ringing, hearts are singing
Songs of bikes and two-wheeled modes
Lights are shining, wheels are turning
In our minds and on the roads
Grant us parking and more bike lanes
How about some showers, too?
Bikes abound the whole year round
Not just in Bee Tee Double Double U. (ed. note: that's Bike to Work Week)
