Synopsis

A FUN FIELD GUIDE FOR WOMEN WHO CYCLE IN THE CITY

In this compelling and very handy cycling guide, writer and urban planner Emilie Bahr asks: what makes cycling a women's issue?

URBAN REVOLUTIONS is a different kind of cycling book. Author Emilie Bahr draws on her experience as an everyday cyclist and a transportation planner in New Orleans to demystify urban bicycling in this visually-compelling and fun-to-read field guide.

What does it mean for a city to be bike-friendly? What makes cycling a women's issue? What does it take to feel safe on a bike? How do you bike to work in the summer and still look professional? What is the most fun you can possibly have on two wheels without being athletic? Bahr answers all these questions and more in her friendly and thoughtful essays and detailed practical tips.
