Bicycle Utopias investigates the future of urban mobilities and
post-car societies, arguing that the bicycle can become the nexus
around which most human movement will revolve. Drawing on
literature on post-car futures (Urry 2007; Dennis and Urry 2009),
transition theory (Geels et al. 2012) and utopian studies (Levitas
2010, 2013), this book imagines a slow bicycle system as a
necessary means to achieving more sustainable mobility futures. The
imagination of a slow bicycle system is done in three ways:
Scenario building to anticipate how cycling mobilities will look in
the year 2050. A critique of the system of automobility and of fast
cycling futures. An investigation of the cycling senses and
sociabilities to describe the type of societies that such a slow
bicycle system will enable. Bicycle Utopias will appeal to students
and scholars in fields such as sociology, mobilities studies, human
geography and urban and transport studies. This work may also be of
interest to advocates, activists and professionals in the domains
of cycling and sustainable mobilities.
