This new edition of John Forester's handbook for transportation policy makers and bicycling advocates has been completely rewritten to reflect changes of the last decade. It includes new chapters on European bikeway engineering, city planning, integration with mass transit and long-distance carriers, "traffic calming," and the art of encouraging private-sector support for bicycle commuting. A professional engineer and an avid bicyclist, John Forester combined those interests in founding the discipline of cycling transportation engineering, which regards bicycling as a form of vehicular transportation equal to any other form of transportation. Forester, who believes that riding a bicycle along streets with traffic is safer than pedaling on restricted bike paths and bike lanes, argues the case for cyclists' rights with zeal and with statistics based on experience, traffic studies, and roadway design standards. Over the nearly two decades since Bicycle Transportation was first published, he has brought about many changes in the national standards for highways, bikeways, bicycles, and traffic laws. His Effective Cycling Program continues to grow.

The purpose of this Guide is to serve as an informational resource for educators and other interested professionals in planning and developing bicycle safety education programs. The Guide examines 15 existing bicycle safety education programs in the United States and one from Canada. The Guide consists of the following three primary sections: (1) Case Studies - specific examples of how educators have developed bicycle safety programs; (2) Planning Your Program - describes lessons that can be learned from the bicycle safety education programs surveyed in six topic areas: funding your program, bicycle safety education and public schools, developing partnerships, alternative venues/subjects, evaluation methods, and publicity; and (3) Conclusion - summarizes the major issues that should be considered when developing a bicycle safety education course.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presents information about bike safety in the United States. In 1997, more than half a million persons were injured badly enough to need emergency department care as a result of bike crashes in the United States. The CDC notes that wearing a bike helmet reduces the risk of brain injury from a bike crash by as much as 88%.

NACTO's Urban Bikeway Design Guide quickly emerged as the preeminent resource for designing safe, protected bikeways in cities across the United States. It has been completely re-designed with an even more accessible layout. The Guide offers updated graphic profiles for all of its bicycle facilities, a subsection on bicycle boulevard planning and design, and a survey of materials used for green color in bikeways. The Guide continues to build upon the fast-changing state of the practice at the local level. It responds to and accelerates innovative street design and practice around the nation.

"From traffic-dodging-bike messengers to tattooed teenagers on battered bikes, from riders in spandex to well-dressed executives, ordinary citizens are becoming transportation revolutionaries. Jeff Mapes traces the growth of bicycle advocacy and explores the environmental, safety, and health aspects of bicycling. He rides with bicycle advocates who are taming the streets of New York City, joins the street circus that is Critical Mass in San Francisco, and gets inspired by the everyday folk pedaling in Amsterdam, the nirvana of American bike activists. Chapters focused on big cities, college towns, and America's most successful bike city, Portland, show how cyclists, with the encouragement of local officials, are claiming a share of the valuable streetscape."--BOOK JACKET.
