Cyclist's Manifesto

- The Case For Riding On Two Wheels Instead Of Four

Bag om Cyclist's Manifesto

Why we¿re entering a different phase in the history of energy, why we can¿t afford to ignore it¿and why the bicycle provides a uniquely empowering way of dealing with it The Cyclist¿s Manifesto makes the most powerful case to date for a simple fact: America can no longer afford to ignore the bicycle as a tool for serious transportation. Robert Hurst takes off his gloves to lay out the case in favor of the bicycle as today¿s superior mode of transport¿and to voice a resounding call to action for people to use it. Hurst visits a surprising variety of places and historical moments in search of an explanation for Americäs dysfunctional love-hate relationship with the most efficient vehicle ever invented. He argues that the American aversion to bicycling for transportation is a unique historical-cultural absurdity based largely on false assumptions and bad information. Written with wit and more than a little exasperation, The Cyclist¿s Manifesto paints a tantalizing picture of the potential benefits of an increasingly self-propelled America, and beckons the frustrated driver, transit user, or pedestrian into the streets for a healthier, happier life on two wheels.
