It gives cycling advocates the talking points they need to show that the bicycle revolution is just common sense in action." -Peter Norton, author of Fighting Traffic: The Dawn of the Motor Age in the American City "In Bikenomics, Elly Blue powerfully demonstrates the economic benefits of making streets complete again, especially by investing in infrastructure to support the bicycle as a mode of transportation. Bikenomics is fact-based but personal, serious but fun, well-researched but readable. Like Tom Paine, Blue set out to show how truths we were raised to believe-streets are for cars, bicycling is an intrusion, cars predominate because they make economic good sense-are really assumptions that defy common sense. It's a future, I realized, I'd really like to see." - The Portland Mercury "Elly Blue has written the Common Sense for the bicycling revolution. And she does it with a witty, persuasive voice that makes this refreshingly jargon-free book a pleasure to read."-Alissa Walker, Urbanism Editor, Gizmodo "Blue's book is rational, fully footnoted-and, in the main, persuasive." - Fast Company "Blue's book helped me better frame my own reasons for riding, and got me thinking a lot about what a more bike-centered future could look like. Elly Blue makes a compelling case for reconnecting with your community in a very authentic way. " Bikenomics will make you wonder how cities ever decided to plan for cars in the first place.
