Alternative Hedonism: The World by Bicycle

Abstract

Our subject is speed in perhaps the commonest use and meaning of the word: speed as the pace at which we move across the earth. Our especial focus is on the bicycle, a machine both slow and fast, as it is still — in some places increasingly — ridden in the countries of the rich world. We draw above all on our knowledge and experience of England and Britain, but refer also to the USA, and to the northern European nations where cycling holds a significant place in the culture and ecology of urban transport. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
