Author: Wray, J Harry

The bicycle, regarded as irrelevant to the 20th century, is making a comeback in the 21st. In an era of steep gas prices, snarled traffic, catastrophic climate change, and a yearning for a higher quality of life, interest in bike-friendly public policies is surging. This book shows the eccentric side of the bicycling universe, from the night rides of Critical Mass to the dumpster-diving Rat Patrol, as well as the mainstream efforts of politicians and organizations to make the world safe for pedal power. 248 pp.
