The Politics of Cycling Infrastructure cover

Provides a critical examination of existing cycling structures alongside current policies and practices used to promote cycling in Europe. Considering the cultural politics of infrastructure, urban space wars and questions of safety and risk, it provides policy solutions for sustainable cities. Contributors show infrastructural provision to be an intensely political act and its meaning variable according to larger political processes and contexts.

“Full of compelling insights from some of the leading cycling researchers in the world, this volume brings the politics of infrastructure to bear in vibrant case studies of why and how cities continue to marginalize cycling despite its many known benefits.” Mimi Sheller, Drexel University
"In a day and age where human-powered mobility modes are praised for their sustainable potential, it is sobering to read this research showing the contested and stratified nature of velomobility across cities and societies.” Ole B. Jensen, Aalborg University
"An exciting and illuminating up and down ride through cycling infrastructures, policies and bike practices around different cities in the world." Professor Jonas Larsen, Roskilde University, Denmark.
