Book Reviews of The Art of Urban Cycling: Lessons from the Street
Book Review: The Production of Space and Subjectivity in Robert Hurst's The Art of Urban Cycling
Summary: 4 Stars
Robert Hurst's text The Art of Urban Cycling is, by far, one of the best books out there when it comes to insights on how to move through the urban streetscape with greater ease. Written clearly and conversationally, it is a fast and easy read. I highly recommend it.
That said, Hurst's book is not without it's limitations. For a discussion of these limitations, and then some, check out:
[...]
Here you will find a sort of companion text, a "Coles Notes" or "Cliff's Notes" if you will, to Robert Hurst's The Art of Urban Cycling (now The Art of Cycling). In other words, you can get the gist of Hurst's basic ideas, techniques and strategies around riding in the city with greater ease without having to read his entire book. In addition to this basic summary, you will also find Hurst's text contextualized within larger academic, policy and popular debates surrounding urban cycling and some of its limitations discussed. If you're a little more nerdy, you might find the theory sections on space, postmodernism(s)and whiteness of interest. Check out the Table of Contents for a more in-depth view of each chapter.
