Review of "Cyclilst's manifesto" on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Entertaining and unusual book. Opens with a brief history of cycling starting back in the 1890s, touching on the politics, women's suffrage, racism in bike racing, and the invention of the automobile. Who knew the bicycle was critical to the assault on Singapore in WWII? Touches on the oil supply, politics of energy, bike safety, bike lanes, and even a brief comment on Critical Mass. All this in less that 200 pages, in a very fresh voice.
