In this original and exciting book author examines what it means historically, culturally, socioeconomically, and politically to be a bicycle transportation advocate/activist.
Those who have swallowed the cycle will not strain long at the Automobile; and after the first decent show of apprehension has been disposed of, the obvious exhilaration and novelty of the exercise begins to exert a charm.
