Cycling is currently enjoying a boom in popularity. What are the
reasons behind this phenomenon? How have perceptions and the
popularity of cycling shifted? This book charts the historical
development of cycling both as a leisure and sporting activity
since the 19th century and explores the wider political and
cultural context in which cycling in Britain emerged. In
particular, it examines cycling's relationship with environmental
politics and its place in popular culture. Neil Carter successfully
traverses several historical sub-disciplines, including the history
of transport, leisure, sport, medicine and politics, employing the
analytical tools of class, gender, political culture, the role of
the state and commercialism to demonstrate how British identity has
shaped and been shaped by cycling. At a time when it has become
part of debates over transport and health, Cycling and the British:
A Modern History provides a timely and clear analysis of the
changes and continuities in attitudes towards cycling.
