“What the PCT is to Cheryl Strayed, the open road is to Brooks-Dalton.”
—Cosmopolitan
“A young woman of passion and...velocity, Brooks-Dalton has written a bright, brisk ode to her beloved two-wheelers.”
—Elle
“Each chapter bears titles such as velocity, impulse, gravity and inertia, and Brooks-Dalton weaves a nuts-and-bolts primer on each into her narrative of learning to ride and care for a series of cycles... One hopes to see what this author’s next adventure will produce.”
—The Boston Globe
“[Brooks-Dalton’s] memoir of finding purpose and courage on the back of a bike is an empowering, poignant journey.”
—US Weekly
“Lily Brooks-Dalton is wonderful, fresh on the scene with a big heart, a fierce spirit, a writer's eye, and a lovely sense of humor.”
–Anne Lamott
"Empowering."
–PopSugar
“Lily Brooks-Dalton has given us an honest and lovely memoir about learning to keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down. This is a book for seekers, wanderers, wayward souls, devotees of the open road, and anyone who loves being swept along by the performance of a beautiful writer at work.”
—Philip Connors, author of Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout
“Like all great quest stories, Motorcycles I’ve Loved depicts a journey that demands the daring and determination to defy those voices (including our own) that try to tell us we’re not cut out for the journey. Lily Brooks-Dalton has blazed a trail all her own, and the resulting memoir is as forthright as a well-worn leather motorcycle jacket, and as beautiful as a country road rolling out just up ahead.”
—Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with Men
“Engaging.”
—Bust
“In her reflective prose, Brooks-Dalton captures the nearly mesmerizing quality of solitary, long-distance riding. She offers some useful tips on maintenance and repair, and overall she portrays a satisfying journey to a very American sense of selfhood and autonomy.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A scenic ride through the backcountry roads of being a woman in what is often considered a man’s world.”
—Library Journal
“As [Brooks-Dalton] deepens her relationship with motorcycles through riding and then exploring their mechanics, she emerges as a confident storyteller, revealing a fascinating cast of catalysts, teachers, and idols. Even those who don’t see the allure of motorcycles will find a compelling story here, especially younger readers who will likely see a glimmer of themselves in this quest for inner strength and identity.”
—Booklist
“[E]ngaging, informative, and enjoyable... Brooks-Dalton is clear and straight-talking as well as eloquent.”
—New Hampshire Union Leader
“This girl-powered memoir will leave you feeling like you can conquer the world.”
—Brit + Co
“Lily Brooks-Dalton is a writer with an innate curiosity for the world we live in, whether it’s through words or traveling or science.”
—Biographile
“[A] welcome respite from the male-centric storylines that dominate pop culture depictions of motorcycle-riding characters...a delight.”
—The Riveter Magazine
Lily Brooks-Dalton was born in southern Vermont. She received her associate's degree at seventeen, then moved to Ireland; after working her way around the world for three and a half years, she returned to the United States and bought her first motorcycle. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
