Cycling for Sustainable Cities




How to make city cycling--the most sustainable form of urban transportation--safe, practical, and convenient for all cyclists.

How to make city cycling--the most sustainable form of urban transportation--safe, practical, and convenient for all cyclists.

Cycling is the most sustainable mode of urban transportation, practical for most short- and medium-distance trips--commuting to and from work or school, shopping, visiting friends, going to the doctor's office. It's good for your health, spares the environment a trip's worth of auto emissions, and is economical for both public and personal budgets. Cycling, with all its benefits, should not be reserved for the fit, the spandex-clad, and the daring. Cycling for Sustainable Cities shows how to make city cycling safe, practical, and convenient for all cyclists.

Praise for Cycling for Sustainable Cities

"From the bike path to the halls of policy making, John Pucher has his finger on the pulse of cycling progress. Join him as he brings his perspectives as a scholar and a committed cyclist to a discussion of this favorable evolution." -- James Badham

"No one has done more than John Pucher and Ralph Buehler to popularise the cause and possibility of city cycling, using what is elsewhere to advocate what could be at home - in north America, but also Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Over the past decade and more, Pucher and Buehler have argued that the English-speaking world should follow the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany in becoming cycle-friendly; and they have investigated and shown how it can be done." --Thinking about Bicycling blog, representative of how the two volume editors are perceived by the cycling community generally (in part because of the first edition of City Cycling)
