On Bicycles [EPUB ebook] 
50 Ways the New Bike Culture Can Change Your Life

Підтримка

Once the quaint province of European cities such as Amsterdam, daily cycling is currently exploding in North American cities. People ride folding bikes to the train, slip through traf?c on tricked-out ?xed-gears, and carry children and groceries on their utility bikes. Commuters are giving up their cars Monday through Friday, bike lanes and bike parking are sprouting up all over, and Talking Head David Byrne has designed arty bike racks for various New York City neighborhoods.
It’s healthy for riders and clean for the environment, but is it fun? Amy Walker, who has been at the forefront of the urban cycling trend, knows that the answer is yes. She presents stories by a diverse group of cycling enthusiasts and activists that, accompanied by the illustrations of bike culture artist Matt Fleming, show readers why. They say you never forget how to ride a bike; this collection helps us remember why we ride.

Про автора

Cycling advocate Amy Walker is the cofounder of Momentum Magazine, a North American publication about the cycling lifestyle. Her work on the magazine since 2001 helped create a model for accessible, encouraging transportation cycling stories and images – a trend which has continued in other bike publications and in mainstream media. Momentum’s website is www.momentumplanet.com Walker has delivered presentations and spoken on panels about the way cycling can change people’s lives – most memorably alongside David Byrne and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson as part of Byrne’s “Cities, Bicycles and the Future of Getting Around” series. Walker believes that being “self-propelled” applies to more than just transportation – indeed it can be practiced in all aspects of life. Walker is currently developing a reality television / travel show about cycling in cities. Amy Walker blogs at www.On Bicycles.com.
