| Abstract | "Seattle was recently dubbed the best bike city in America by Bicycling magazine-but how did this notoriously hilly and rainy city become so inviting to people riding bikes? And what potholes lie ahead for bike advocates in the Emerald City? Tom Fucoloro, a longtime reporter on bike issues in Seattle, blends his reporting with historical research to uncover the story behind Seattle's hard-won bike lanes and trails, exploring how this center of bike culture emerged despite the obstacles of climate, topography, and - most importantly - an entrenched, car-centric urban landscape and culture"-- Provided by publisher. |
