"""Bicycle City is the book for city lovers, especially those that are disenchanted with the snail's pace of efforts to win back cities from the destructive vise grip of auto domination. Dan draws on his professional training, his eclectic interests, and his vast experience living in cities of all types to produce a book that is both highly accessible and really enjoyable. He offers hope that change is possible and lays out pragmatic steps for the type of actions that can be applied anywhere to make cities more equitable, more resilient, more ecologically sound and, most of all, more livable.""--Norman W. Garrick, Professor Emeritus, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Connecticut ""If cycle tracks will abound in utopia, Daniel Piatkowski's optimistic-but-realistic roadmap offers the directions cities need not to make themselves better for bikes, but to make themselves better with bikes. Inspiring readers to think beyond the status quo, Bicycle City offers the tools we need to free ourselves and our communities from the car and chart a path to a fairer and brighter future.""--Melissa and Chris Bruntlett, authors of 'Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in our Lives'"
