Tillie's Big Race

Tillie shares a name with the famous "Tillie the Terrible Swede". She also shares an ambition with that woman from Chicago. She longs to break all the records on her bike. But her home deep in the farmlands of northwest Minnesota offers few opportunities to test her.

Then a car full of city folks blows into her town. City folks in a fancy city car, carrying very city weapons.

Their target? Her town's bank. But when their getaway puts her grandfather in danger, Tillie and her bike ride to the rescue.

"Tillie's Big Race", a short story featuring gangsters, Tommy guns, and a lone young woman on a bike.
