Abstract

"Wheeling Through Toronto: A History of the Bicycle and Its Riders" by Albert Koehl delves into the complex relationship between bicycles and urban transportation in Toronto. Koehl's exploration of the city's cycling history reveals the power dynamics and prejudices that have shaped transportation policies. Through primary sources and critical analysis, Koehl highlights the struggles of marginalized groups and the impact of public perception on mobility practices. The book offers a unique perspective on utilitarian cycling and challenges the myth of automobile safety, making it a valuable contribution to the field of mobilities scholarship.
