Reid introduces readers to cycling personalities, such as Henry Ford, and the cycling advocacy groups that influenced early road improvements, literally paving the way for the motor car. When the bicycle morphed from the vehicle of rich transport progressives in the 1890s to the ?poor man?s transport? in the 1920s, some cyclists became ardent motorists and were all too happy to forget their cycling roots. But, Reid explains, many motor pioneers continued cycling, celebrating the shared links between transport modes that are now seen as worlds apart. In this engaging and meticulously researched book, Carlton Reid encourages us all to celebrate those links once again. 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aHuman Geography 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 676 $a388.10937 700 $aReid$b Carlton $01052571 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299423603321 996 $aRoads were not built for cars$92483953 997 $aUNINA
