City Cycling

edited by John Pucher and Ralph Buehler

Bicycling in cities is booming, for many reasons: health and environmental benefits, time and 

cost savings, more and better bike lanes and paths, innovative bike sharing programs, and the 

sheer fun of riding. City Cycling offers a guide to this urban cycling renaissance, with the goal 

of promoting cycling as sustainable urban transportation available to everyone. It reports on cycling trends and policies in cities in North America, Europe, 

and Australia, and offers information on such topics as cycling safety, cycling 

infrastructure provisions including bikeways and 

bike parking, the wide range of bike designs and 

bike equipment, integration of cycling with public 

transportation, and promoting cycling for women 

and children.
