An exploration of Britain's complex relationship with cycling, this book delves into the history, politics, and culture that have shaped how we travel on two wheels. From Victorian cycling clubs to modern infrastructure debates, it examines why cycling remains marginalised in British transport policy despite its evident benefits.
Drawing on personal experience, historical research, and interviews with campaigners and policymakers, the narrative unpacks the barriers preventing Britain from becoming a cycling nation. It's a compelling investigation into urban planning, public health, environmental concerns, and the social forces that determine who gets space on our roads. Essential reading for anyone interested in sustainable transport, urban design, or the future of British cities.
