Cycling Cities: The Global Experience is a research and publication project. It covers 150 years of cycling policy and practice around the world in 50 cities in 25 countries–and growing. Cycling Cities is an invaluable resource for the growing global community of policymakers, community groups, students, and teachers. We are pleased to announce the Cycling Cities: The African Experience. Curious? We have an exhibit Bicycles are Forever in Tamale in Ghana at Nuku studio, May-September 2024. And we are crowdfunding: Help our African authors publish the book by donating.
Why have some capitals and business centers become true cycling cities and others not? Cycling Cities traces how policymakers, engineers, cyclists, or community groups have made a difference since the early twentieth century. All publications are richly illustrated with photos, tables, graphs, maps, and infographics.
