• Sommario/riassunto: Bicycle City: Riding the Bike Boom to a Brighter Future by Daniel Piatkowski explores the transformative potential of bicycles in urban environments. The book discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cycling, the rise of e-bikes, cargo bikes, and micromobility, and highlights the urban bias in bicycling infrastructure. Piatkowski shares his personal experiences moving from the U.S. to Oslo, Norway, and examines how European cities have successfully integrated cycling into their transportation systems. Aimed at urban planners, policymakers, and environmental advocates, the book advocates for a shift towards sustainable urban mobility and reduced automobile dependence to promote ecological health and livability.
