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 Forever in Tamale in Ghana at Nuku studio, May-November 2024, now moving to Addis Ababa as part of an UNEP policy workshop. 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.
In the Your-City-Next series, forthcoming: 17 cities in Africa (Fall 2025), Minneapolis (Spring 2025), Tehran (Fall 2025), Cork, Budapest, Erbil, Istanbul, Bogotá
Already published: Europe (11 cities), Arnhem-Nijmegen, Munich, The Hague, Johannesburg, Rotterdam, and Lisbon
In the news, including The Guardian, reviews have appeared in Dutch, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese among others. The city of Tehran has translated the book into Farsi.
