Book ID/图书代码: 09778012B57205
English Summary/英文概要: Bike culture is exploding in cities like Portland, OR, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Montreal, and Vancouver, BC. Whether people are riding folding bikes to the commuter train, slipping through traffic on streamlined single speeds, or carrying children and groceries on their cargo bikes, bicycles are making urban life more dynamic and enjoyable — simply better.
Amy Walker has been at the forefront of this trend as cofounder of Momentum magazine, which chronicles and inspires urban bike culture and transportation cycling. In On Bicycles, she gathers a wide-ranging group of cycling writers to explore the ways that biking can change, and is changing, people’s lives. From utility bikes that are becoming the primary mode of transportation for entire families to the artistic creations of freakbike riders, On Bicycles has something for everyone who has ever ridden a bike.
Topics include:
* cargo bikes * bike parties * a history of bike advocacy
* the bike-craft boom * folding bikes * recumbents * biking with kids
* handmade bikes * car-free streets * relocalizing * bike style
* collective bike shops * women and bikes * and many more
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 自行车文化正在波特兰、纽约、旧金山、芝加哥、蒙特利尔和温哥华等城市迅速发展。无论是人们骑折叠自行车到通勤火车上,还是以流线型的单速在交通中穿行,还是用他们的货物自行车载着孩子和食品杂货,自行车让城市生活更有活力、更愉快——简直更好了。
