This review is from: The Greening of Urban Transport: Planning for Walking and Cycling in Western Cities, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

this book is very interesting. it is realy what it promaise. You find theorical and practical approach to the "car problem" with a multicriterial anlysis ( enviromental, social, healt, psicological, and political view).
if you need reason to keep on cycling, to ash for your right to ride save and fast; or if you need reasons for waking, them this is a great book for you.
if you want to know what can be done, what is being do, what should be do, againg this is your book.
hope you like it as much as i do.
