Cycling advocates envisage a future in which bikes are a widespread
daily form of transportation. While many global cities are seeing
the number of bike commuters increase, this future is still far
away; at times, urban cycling seems to be fighting for its very
survival. Will we ever witness a true "bike boom" in cities? What
can we learn from past successes and failures to make cycling
safer, easier, and more accessible? Use of bicycles in Britain and
America fell off a cliff in the 1950s and 1960s thanks to the rapid
rise in car ownership. Urban planners and politicians predicted
that cycling would wither to nothing, and they did their level best
to bring about this extinction by catering to only motorists. But
in the 1970s, something strange happened, cycling bounced back,
first in America and then in Britain. In Bike Boom, journalist
Carlton Reid uses history to shine a spotlight on the present and
demonstrates how cycling has the potential to grow even further, if
the right measures are put in place by the politicians and planners
of today and tomorrow.He explores the benefits and challenges of
cycling, the roles of infrastructure and advocacy, and what we can
learn from cities that have successfully supported and encouraged
bike booms, including London; Davis, California; Montreal;
Stevenage; Amsterdam; New York; and Copenhagen. Given that today's
global cycling "boom" has its roots in the early 1970s, Reid draws
lessons from that period. At that time, the Dutch were investing in
bike infrastructure and advocacy, the US and the UK had the choice
to follow the Dutch example, but didn't. Reid sets out to discover
what we can learn from the history of bike "booms" in this
entertaining and thought-provoking book.
The coming of the railways in the 1830s killed off the stage-coach
trade; almost all rural roads reverted to low-level local use.
Cyclists were the first group in a generation to use roads and were
the first to push for high-quality leadership for roads. They were
also the first promoters of motoring; the first motoring
journalists had first been cycling journalists; and there was a
transfer of technology from cycling to motoring without which cars
as we know them wouldn't exist! 64 car marques, including
Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC, had
bicycling beginnings. Roads Were Not Built for Cars is a history
book, focussing on a time when cyclists had political clout, in
Britain and especially in America. The book researches the Roads
Improvement Association - a lobbying group created by the Cyclists'
Touring Club in 1886 - and the Good Roads movement organised by the
League of American Wheelmen in the same period.
