Description

This book explores the reasons for difficulties in making cycling mainstream in many cultures, despite its claims for being one of the most sustainable forms of transport. In conditions of relatively low use, cycle users become more closely identified with their means of transport than users of other modes. Such personality-based considerations led to the need initially for the book to explore the cultural development of cycling in countries with high use and the differences in use between different sub-groups of the population. After a consideration of the possible role and function of the private sector, the lessons learned from the book are placed in a socio-political context with a call for required action to create a revolution in cycle use.

Media Reviews

The book 'Cycling and Sustainability' is a very fine collection putting light on the cycling-society nexus - [it] makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of this fascinating and important mode of transport. Ole B. Jensen, Aalborg University, Denmark This is a valuable collection of essays by leading researchers which provides a comprehensive view of recent research on the role of cycling as a means of everyday travel. Colin G. Pooley, Lancaster University, UK A finely crafted volume of state-of-the-art thinking and research about cycling. It links the bicycle with people and society, the environment and the economy within a sustainable and realistic context. Valuable reading for those already switched on to the benefits of cycling, or wanting to understand why cycling offers so much potential. Chris Rissel, The University of Sydney, Australia
