Bicycle Utopias: Imagining Fast and Slow Cycling Futures

The imagination of a slow bicycle system is done in three ways:

• Scenario building to anticipate how cycling mobilities will look in the year 2050.
• A critique of the system of automobility and of fast cycling futures.
• An investigation of the cycling senses and sociabilities to describe the type of societies that such a slow bicycle system will enable.

Bicycle Utopias will appeal to students and scholars in fields such as sociology, mobilities studies, human geography and urban and transport studies. This work may also be of interest to advocates, activists and professionals in the domains of cycling and sustainable mobilities.
