Book Description
Americans have been riding bikes for more than a century now. So why are most American cities still so ill-prepared to handle cyclists? James Longhurst, a historian and avid cyclist, tackles that question by tracing the contentious debates between American bike riders, motorists, and pedestrians over the shared road. Bike Battles explores the different ways that Americans have thought about the bicycle through popular songs, merit badge pamphlets, advertising, films, newspapers and sitcoms. Those associations shaped the actions of government and the courts when they intervened in bike policy through lawsuits, traffic control, road building, taxation, rationing, import tariffs, safety education and bike lanes from the 1870s to the 1970s. Today, cycling in American urban centers remains a challenge as city planners, political pundits, and residents continue to argue over bike lanes, bike-share programs, law enforcement, sustainability, and public safety. Combining fascinating new research from a wide range of sources with a true passion for the topic, Longhurst shows us that these battles are nothing new; in fact they’re simply a continuation of the original battle over who is - and isn’t - welcome on our roads.

Book Description
Bicyclists, drivers, pedestrians, and motorcyclists may all have different views of their rights, privileges, and responsibilities as road users. On the assumption that driving behavior is influenced by how drivers think and feel, and what moral models they ascribe to, this paper examines these issues. It tries to understand the behavior of road users, so traffic conflicts can be minimized. In order to help avoid misunderstandings, the paper examines how the varied road users judge and see each other. The paper also explores the influence of facilities design and traffic law on road sharing, looks at road user attitudes and their perception of fairness, and examines the idea of efficient road networks and how they are viewed by road users.
