University of Texas Press The Mechanical Horse
Book SynopsisWith cities across the country adding miles of bike lanes and building bike-share stations, bicycling is enjoying a new surge of popularity in America. It seems that every generation or two, Americans rediscover the freedom of movement, convenience, and relative affordability of the bicycle. The earliest two-wheeler, the draisine, arrived in Philadelphia in 1819 and astonished onlookers with the possibility of propelling themselves “like lightning.” Two centuries later, the bicycle is still the fastest way to cover ground on gridlocked city streets.Filled with lively stories, The Mechanical Horse reveals how the bicycle transformed American life. As bicycling caught on in the nineteenth century, many of the country’s rough, rutted roads were paved for the first time, laying a foundation for the interstate highway system. Cyclists were among the first to see the possibilities of self-directed, long-distance travel, and some of them (including a fellow Trade ReviewA bright, enthusiastic cultural history. * Kirkus *[A] dazzling cultural history of the bicycle . . . Guroff peppers these historical accounts with lively quotes from primary documents and her own sharp, modern insight. As she makes plain, it’s not just cyclists who have bicycles to thank for the way they get around—it’s everybody. And that makes The Mechanical Horse worth a read for the most avowed drivers, too. * CityLab *Fascinating . . . Guroff does an admirable job reminding us of the bicycle’s lasting influence . . . [Her] book provides a colorful and helpful map of where we’ve been, and where we all might go from here. * The Wall Street Journal *A narrative rich in history and based on formidable research . . . But what comes through most strongly in this nicely written, fast-paced narrative is Guroff’s love for her subject. If you adore your bike, you’re curious about where it came from, and you’d like to read about how it’s changed the world, then buy this book. It’s that simple. * Washington Independent Review of Books *Guroff has penned a fascinating account of how such a seemingly simple invention could have such a global impact. * Baltimore Magazine *Guroff defty tells how cycling grew, literally, from the iron drasine and wooden-wheeled velocipedes in the early 19th century to giant-front-wheel penny farthings. * The Examiner *Guroff is a confident social historian who allows her eye for the colorful detail to lead the way while never neglecting to think through the chain of incidents and inventions that paved the road from the early 19th-century draisine, two wheels and a seat but not much else, to the battery-assisted fat-wheeled wonders of today. . . . Good stories abound in Guroff's account. * The Weekly Standard *Who knew that besides representing a marvel of mechanical efficiency, the bicycle also has a fascinating social history? It turns out that its story is a very readable tale of social change in America. * Minnesota Star Tribune *Margaret Guroff’s survey of the role the bicycle has played in America’s social and cultural development covers a lot of ground at a necessarily rapid cadence. We learn that America’s relationship with the bicycle is an on-off romance based partly on fashion and partly on utility… Today, while cycling enjoys rising popularity in prosperous urban area, overall ridership has decreased especially among children. Guroff speculates that computers, smartphones and heightened protectiveness may mean the bicycle is no longer a suburban kid’s birthright. Let’s hope not. * Times Literary Supplement *Guroff looks at bicycling from its early days to the present, offering fascinating insights that connect the earlier years with the present. * AETHLON: The Journal of Sport Literature *The Mechanical Horse is first-rate popular history that ought to interest professional historians of business, capitalism, and technology. * Business History Review *An exceptional example of an empathetic historical imagination, and fantastically good at making history accessible to all. * Great Plains Quarterly *Table of Contents Introduction Chapter One.

University of Nebraska Press From Rails to Trails
Book SynopsisFrom Rails to Trails is the fascinating tale of the political rebirth of bicycle advocacy and of how miles of abandoned corridors were converted to multiuse trails.Trade Review"Harnik rightfully deserves credit for being one of the pioneers who led a movement that positively affected the lives of millions of Americans. His book will be a reference for trail designers and builders for generations to come."—Dirt"In the new, informative book From Rails to Trails, Harnik tells the fascinating tale of the rails-to-trails movement and considers what the continued creation of rails-trails means for the future of Americans' health, nonmotorized transportation networks, and communities across the country."—Brooklyn Digest"Anyone who reads the book will have to come away with some appreciation for how the trails they ride got there."—Charles Pekow, cyclingutah.com"Harnik's sweep through this lane of American transportation, industry, and politics will engage the most sedentary. Buffs will geek out on the dozens of charts, maps, and tables."—Michael Leccese, historynet.com"In From Rails to Trails: The Making of America's Active Transportation Network . . . Harnik, now 72, recounts the rich history of bicycling, the rise and fall of railroads, and the grassroots activism that led to the creation of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy."—Jeanette Der Bedroslan, John Hopkins Magazine"From Rails to Trails is a compelling and thorough introduction to applying 20th-century political skills to the double lines of steel rail created by 19th-century physical brawn."—James D. Porterfield, Railroad History"I've read thousands of trail books and publications over my forty-year career of developing and enjoying trails. The majority of these publications fall into four categories: trail guides, trail memoir/adventure narratives, trail construction, maintenance how-tos, and trail studies. During the last few years, we've seen an added category—books exploring the history of what many call the 'nature of trails' or the 'trails movement.' They expand our trail knowledge to this fifth category—delving into the history of where trails and organizations began, how they began, and where they, as well as us, are heading. Peter Harnik, a longtime environmental activist and avid bicyclist joins this last category with his new book that covers the political, cultural, transportation, design, and land-use issues that have shaped the rail-trail movement."—Jim Schmid, americantrails.org"I read with relish Peter Harnik's telling of the rail-trail history, From Rails to Trails: The Making of America's Active Transportation Network. . . . The inspirational book is a bit of a memoir, too, as Peter tells of his own path as one of the founders of the movement to save the rail corridors for public recreational use. Thank you for all that energy, Peter!"—Bill Thorness, billthorness.substack.com"To accommodate trains, the corridors were engineered to be relatively flat, and their hard-packed roadbeds still offer surfaces suitable for most bicycles. The potential for many more rail trails remains, including the completion of the remaining 48% of an east-west, coast-to-coast trail network. The compelling story of how this came about is told by Peter Harnik."—Tom Horton, Bay Journal"Spotlighting key trails and key individuals from the history of rails to trails, Harnik's book should appeal not only to bicyclists but also those of us more broadly interested in environmental history, parks and recreation history, transportation and commerce history, and activism."—Scott EinbergerTable of ContentsList of Illustrations List of Tables Acknowledgments Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisJessica Cherry and Frank Soos have assembled a wide range of Alaska cycling voices, from the Gold Rush prospecting cyclists of the early 1900s to the ultra-endurance cyclists and bike packers of today.Trade Review"However often you ride bikes, you'll find something beautiful in this 320-page collection. You'll probably also find something inspiring. I certainly did, and when I finished reading, I pulled on my boots and went for a long ride."—John Messick, bikepacking.com“Ever since bicycles were invented, intrepid Alaskans have set out through wilderness, over mountains, along frozen rivers, over thousands of miles of trails. This spirited and lively collection gives us history, starting in 1900, with Ed Jesson’s thousand-mile trip Dawson to Nome. We witness the development of mountain bikes and fatbikes, of pogies and GPS systems. We watch a Tuesday evening cycling club get bogged down, literally, so their ride lasts until the wee hours. From everyday bike commutes to weeks-long wilderness rides, Alaskans continue to push the pedals and their own limits. This book will delight hardcore riders, weekend riders, and readers who’ll enjoy vicariously these wild adventures on wheels.”—Peggy Shumaker, author of Just Breathe Normally“Thrilling! This entertaining and thoughtful anthology captures the joys and adventures of bicycling in Alaska. From urban rides in Anchorage to perilous winter journeys above the Arctic circle, and from the earliest bicycles brought to Alaska during the 1890s Gold Rush to contemporary rides on fatbikes taken to help cope with our current pandemic, herein is a wide-ranging selection of essays filled with surprises at every turn. Readers will experience not only long pedals through the landscapes and wildlife of this most beautiful state but also the personal introspection that only a good ride can inspire. At turns humorous, inspiring, and thought-provoking, and all so beautifully written.

University of Cincinnati Press Bicycling through Paradise – Historical Rides
Book SynopsisBicycling Through Paradise is a collection of twenty historically themed cycling tours broken into 10-mile segments centered around Cincinnati, Ohio. Written by two longtime cyclists—one a professor of history and one an architect—the book is an affectionate, intimate, and provocative reading of the local landscape and history from the perspectives of cycling and Cincinnati enthusiasts. Tours, navigated by Smythe and Hanlon, take cyclers past Native American sites, early settler homesteads, and locations made know through recent Ohio change-makers as navigated by the authors. With extensive details on routes and sites along the way, tours between 20 and 80 miles in length are designed for all levels of cyclists, and even the armchair explorer. Riders and readers will visit towns called Edenton, Loveland, Felicity, and Utopia. Along the journey, they’ll encounter an abandoned Shaker village near the Whitewater Forest and a tiny dairy house called “Harmony Hill,” the oldest standing structure in Clermont County, Ohio. They’ll also take in the view from the top of a 2,000-year-old, 75-foot tall, conical Indian mound at Miamisburg. Riders can follow the Little Miami Scenic Trail and take a detour to a castle on the banks of the Little Miami River. Other sights include a full-scale replica of the tomb of Jesus in Northern Kentucky and the small pleasures of public parks, covered bridges, tree-lined streets, riverside travel, and one-room schoolhouses. And if all this isn’t exactly Paradise, well, it’s pretty close.

La gente que sueña
Book SynopsisUn joven ciclista pedalea por las carreteras sombrías de la campiña normanda. Tiene quince años, aún no piensa en ser profesional ni en el Tour de Francia: solo disfruta del momento, del esfuerzo y de la naturaleza. Cincuenta años antes, un muchacho criado en una granja contempla el cielo estrellado de una noche de verano, con el corazón lleno de sueños. Y en el siglo XVI, un humanista se inclina sobre su escritorio, junto al fuego, llenando de palabras los manuscritos que marcarán su destino.Tres hombres. Tres épocas. Tres destinos. Separados por los siglos, se entrelazan en un mismo lugar: el dominio de La Boderie, en la Suiza normanda. Un refugio de inocencia, de sencillez y de felicidad efímera.Pero el tiempo y las pruebas los arrastrarán lejos de ese paraíso. Serán capaces de reencontrar el camino hacia sus primeras ilusiones?La gente que sueña es el libro más personal de Guillaume Martin-Guyonnet. El ciclista profesional y filósofo francés vuelve con este libro tras el éxito de sus dos ensayos anteriores: Sócrates en bicicleta y La sociedad del pelotón . Con una prosa delicada y llena de ternura, entreteje épocas, vocaciones y destinos para plantear una pregunta íntima y universal: y si, como los niños, bastara con saber soñar?

Buhring is in a class with Amelia Earhart and Kathrine Switzer; brave, strong, and a little crazy in the best possible way." -- Douglas Lord - Library Journal"Vivid…Buhring insists she is…just an ordinary person pushing outside her comfort zone. That is exactly what makes her story so amazing." -- Booklist"[A] testament to the human will to overcome and survive as well as a moving portrait of a woman on a deeply personal quest to define the meaning of her life.

I couldn’t put the book down, couldn’t wait to find out how Buhring would overcome the next barrier! She makes one realize that great dreams are possible to achieve. One of my all-time favorites!" -- Lynne Cox, author of Swimming to Antarctica and Grayson"Juliana Buhring endured fear, doubt, and pain to achieve a truly remarkable feat. But Buhring is more than an athlete—she’s a phoenix, who rose from the ashes of a horrific childhood and a devastating personal loss to test herself against the unknown. You’ll be amazed and inspired by this book." -- Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive"I read this book in a single sitting, transfixed by Juliana's incredible story… The physical achievement of riding around the world pales in comparison to the mental achievement of holding herself together and staying the course through such hardship. This is one of those stories that just pulls you along for the ride. Once I embarked, it just whisked me along until the end." -- Alex Honnold, author of Alone on the Wall
