This book offers a critical examination of existing cycling structures
and the current policy and practices used to promote cycling. An
international range of contributors provide an interdisciplinary
analysis of the complex cultural politics of infrastructural provision
and interrogate the pervasive bias against cyclists in city planning and
transport systems across the globe. Infrastructural planning is revealed
to be an intensely political act and its meaning variable according to
larger political processes and contexts. The book also considers
questions surrounding safety and risk, urban space wars and sustainable
futures, connecting this to broader questions about citizenship and
justice in contemporary cities.
