The Nonbinarian Book Bike, a pink cargo tricycle that distributes free queer books of all genres to all ages, is gone. On the morning of April 2, 2025, when Nonbinarian Bookstore proprietor K. Kerimian (they/them) arrived on-site to open for the day, they found the boxy, pink cargo bike missing from its usual spot.
Kerimian first declared, "We're not going anywhere" following the second vandalization of the bike. Regardless of the reasoning, there is no justification for this act against our symbol of pride and community solidarity. We use the Book Bike to distribute queer books of all genres for all ages across the borough, along with the message of queer joy and resistance.
“After Trans Day of Visibility,” Kerimian says, “This feels like a terrible joke."
Please help us say: WE ARE (STILL) NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Donate today to help us recover from this theft, including raising funds to purchase a replacement book bike, additional security measures for the store; create an emergency fund to weather additional targeting; and aid our mission of distributing free queer books and resources for all.
