Reviews

'Cycling: A sociology of velomobility is as the title indicates a sociological tome that will please and challenge sociologists of sport and culture, but it is far more than this. It is a must read for urban theorists and planners as well as anyone who lives in the city, regardless of their interest in or association with cycling.' Duncan R. Jamieson, Ashland University, Ohio
