Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This new edition of John Forester's handbook for transportation policy makers and bicycling advocates has been completely rewritten to reflect changes of the last decade. It includes new chapters on European bikeway engineering, city planning, integration with mass transit and long-distance carriers, "traffic calming," and the art of encouraging private-sector support for bicycle commuting.

A professional engineer and an avid bicyclist, John Forester combined those interests in founding the discipline of cycling transportation engineering, which regards bicycling as a form of vehicular transportation equal to any other form of transportation. Forester, who believes that riding a bicycle along streets with traffic is safer than pedaling on restricted bike paths and bike lanes, argues the case for cyclists' rights with zeal and with statistics based on experience, traffic studies, and roadway design standards. Over the nearly two decades since Bicycle Transportation was first published, he has brought about many changes in the national standards for highways, bikeways, bicycles, and traffic laws. His Effective Cycling Program continues to grow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Bicycle Transportation, December 13, 1999
By Fred B Oswald (Middleburg Hts, OH) - See all my reviews
Bicycle Transportation is Forester's book for transportation professionals. Unfortunately, the author is NOT an effective advocate. His harsh, confrontational style is off-putting to say the least. This is a pity because Forester has much to teach.

The book will be a valuable resource for cycling advocates and for those few professionals who can overlook the shower of insults that accompanies the words of a real expert in the field.
