Recenzijos

The book 'Cycling and Sustainability' is a very fine collection putting light on the cycling-society nexus - [ it] makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of this fascinating and important mode of transport. Ole B. Jensen, Aalborg University, Denmark This is a valuable collection of essays by leading researchers which provides a comprehensive view of recent research on the role of cycling as a means of everyday travel. Colin G. Pooley, Lancaster University, UK A finely crafted volume of state-of-the-art thinking and research about cycling. It links the bicycle with people and society, the environment and the economy within a sustainable and realistic context. Valuable reading for those already switched on to the benefits of cycling, or wanting to understand why cycling offers so much potential. Chris Rissel, The University of Sydney, Australia
