The first full-length study of cycling activism through the lens of
social movement theory, this book demonstrates that, despite
tremendous differences, bike activism can be understood as a
continuous and connected activity spanning a century and a half and
across continents. With examples from street protest to
institutional lobbying, it emphasises cycling’s current central
importance to zero carbon transport futures, while showing that
cycling activism is also not always about the bike or the cyclist,
as successive generations of activists have used cycling to
articulate different visions of freedom and autonomy. Moving from a
consideration of social movement theory as a means to understand
cycling activism, the author presents a series of case studies of
collective action, organisations, networks and campaigns in order
to illustrate and elaborate a theoretical model through which
diverse campaigns and approaches to change can be understood. As
such, Cycling Activism will appeal to those with interests in
mobilisation for social change, mobility and transport studies, and
social movement theory, as well as cycling studies.
