"This study of three prominent U.S. cities--Milwaukee, Portland, and Minneapolis--examines how the burgeoning popularity of urban bicycling is trailed by systemic issues of racism, classism, and displacement"-- "The number of bicyclists are increasing in the United States, especially among the working class and people of color. In contrast to the demographics of bicyclists in the United States, advocacy for bicycling has focused mainly on the interests of white, upwardly mobile bicyclists, leading to neighborhood conflicts and accusations of racist planning. In Bike Lanes Are White Lanes, scholar Melody L. Hoffmann argues that the bicycle has varied cultural meaning as a "rolling signifier." That is, the bicycle's meaning changes in different spaces, with different people, and in different cultures. The rolling signification of the bicycle contributes to building community, influences gentrifying urban planning, and upholds systemic race and class barriers. In this study of three prominent U.S. cities--Milwaukee, Portland, and Minneapolis--Hoffmann examines how the burgeoning popularity of urban bicycling is trailed by systemic issues of racism, classism, and displacement. From a pro-cycling perspective, Bike Lanes Are White Lanes highlights many problematic aspects of urban bicycling culture and its advocacy as well as positive examples of people trying earnestly to bring their community together through bicycling.

The book explores the reasons for difficulties in making cycling mainstream in many cultures, despite its claims for being one of the most sustainable forms of transport. The topic is looked at from the varying perspectives of people, the environment and the economy with multi-disciplinary contributions from the UK, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Gemany, Australia, China and USA. Initially it examines the cultural development of cycling in countries with high use and the differences in use between different sub-groups of the population. It then explores issues of urban form, and the attributes of the network and the system for appropriately accommodating cycle users. Cross-cultural issues are once again investigated through an exposition of research in developing countries and the environment in which scheme promoters and users operate. The book draws to a close with an exploration of state-of-the-art thinking on demand model.

Hoe de fiets de stad kan redden? Van New York tot Singapore en van Parijs tot São Paolo: in alle grote steden van de wereld nemen fietsers de straat in bezit naar het voorbeeld van Amsterdam en Kopenhagen. Van fietskoeriers met doodsverachting tot modebewuste jongeren op hippe karretjes of gewoon forenzen op weg naar hun werk: fietsen is meer dan alleen een alternatieve vervoersmogelijkheid. Het is praktisch, het is groen, het is cool. Cycle Space is het eerste boek dat de internationale fietsbeweging verbindt met misschien wel de grootste ontwerpuitdaging van de 21ste eeuw: het realiseren van een duurzame stad. Dit boek analyseert stedelijke fietsculturen en laat zien hoe deze tot succesvolle ontwerpstrategieën kunnen worden omgezet. Hoogleraar architectuur en fietsfanaat Steven Fleming laat zien dat we moeten begrijpen waarom mensen voor de fiets kiezen, om te zien hoe de fiets kan bijdragen aan het terugdringen van luchtverontreiniging, reistijden, gezondheidsrisico’s en het opslokken van steeds meer land door de stad. Met fietsportretten van acht grote steden toont Cycle Space hoe de fietser de stad kan redden. How the bicycle can save the cit? From New York to Singapore, from Copenhagen to Sydney, from Chicago to Amsterdam, and from São Paolo to Budapest, there is a groundswell of cyclists taking to the streets of major cities. Whether death-defying bike messengers, hipsters with a taste for cycle chic, or commuters simply cycling to work, cycling is viewed as more than just an alternative. It’s practical. It’s cool. It’s green. With portraits of major cities and their cycling cultures, Cycle Space is the first book to view the city through the lens of the bicycle, and offer a new ways of designing better cities. Cycle space is where architecture and urban design can begin to optimise conditions for cycling, and take inspiration from the aesthetics and ethics of cycling as well. It is where cities can begin reducing emissions, commute times, ill-health and sprawl. In Cycle Space, architecture professor and cycling nut Steven Fleming argues that understanding why people are choosing bikes is key for discovering the full potential of the bicycle as a transformative force in the design of our cities.
