Books
The Age of the Bicycle
Miriam Webster, 1998, 270 pages.
"What if one afternoon all the cars in the world slowed
down and then stopped in their tracks...
soon tea shops burgeoned on the interstates...
rush-hour traffic went by on bicycles at an average speed of eight
miles an hour... but - drought plagued Central Texas because
the local rain goddess had run off with a handsome mortal on a stolen
red tandem - and - enemies of the river went right
on dumping poisons into it..."
This work of ecofiction takes a whimsical look at a future that might
be.

and assorted odd characters.

for reversing our automobile dependency. Demonstrating that there are
economic, political, personal and architectural solutions to the
problem, Kay shows that radical change is entirely possible. Essential
reading for anyone interested in the history of our relationship with
the car.

For Love of the Automobile
Looking Back Into the History of Our Desires
Wolfgang Sachs, 1992, 227 pages, hard cover.
Far more than a means of transportation, the automobile
has become a cultural icon for our times. Examining the history of the
automobile from the late 1880s to the present, Sachs shows how the car
gave form to the dreams and desires embedded in modern
society—for speed, independence, comfort, status, glamour and
power—and in so doing reshaped our very notions of time and
space, our individual and societal values and our outlook on progress
and the future. In sum: an excellent and detailed cultural history of
the car.

We are Traffic! / Return of the Scorcher
Ted White, 1992/1999, 28 min./50 min., DVD
Two classic biking movies now on one DVD, plus extra
footage that didn't make into the documentaries. Return of
the Scorcher (1992, 28 min.) discovers an inspired and
evolving bicycle renaissance. Filled with inspiring scenes of bike use
filmed in China, The Netherlands, Denmark and the USA, this is the
movie that gave us the term "Critical Mass". We Are Traffic
(1999, 50 min.) chronicles the history of the Critical Mass bicycle
movement, now a monthly ritual in over 100 different cities in 14
different countries since its genesis in San Francisco in 1992. The
movie tracks this leaderless, grassroots movement, which has brought
together complete strangers in an exuberant, commercial-free public
space filled with creativity and unpredictability.
