Krátky popis
It took an oil crisis in the 1970s for the Dutch to realise that
they simply couldn´t afford to live without bicycles, and todaythe
Dutch lead the world in urban cycling. Fifty years later, another
crisis, the pandemic, has led to a boom in bicyclingand a radical
rethinking of the future of urban mobility, demonstrating the
possibility of a car-free urban future. Thepandemic “bikeboom” is
one of the very few bright spots in an otherwise terrible time –
and an opportunity we cannotwaste.In Bicycle City: Riding the Bike
Boom to a Brighter Future cycling expert Daniel Piatkowski argues
that the bicycle is the besttool that we have to improve our
cities. The car-free urban futur, where cities are vibrant, with
access to everything weneed close by, may be less bike-centric than
we think. But bikes are a crucial first step to getting us out of
cars.Bicycle City is about making cities better with bikes rather
than for bikes. Piatkowski offers a vision for the car-free urban
future that so many are trying to create, with no shortage of
pragmatic lessons to get there. Electric bikes are demonstrating
the ability of bikes to replace cars in more places and for more
people.Cargo bikes, with electric assistance, are replacing SUVs
for families and delivery trucks for freight. At the same time,
mobility startups are providing new ownership models to make these
new bikes easier to use and own, ushering in a new era of
pedal-powered cities. Bicycle City brings together the latest
research with interviews, anecdotes, and case studies from around
the world to showreaders how to harness the post-pandemic
bikeboom.Piatkowski illustrates how the future of bicycling will
facilitate thenecessary urban transitions to mitigate the impending
climate crisis and support just and equitable transport systems.
