      abstract = {Carlton Reid reveals the pivotaland largely  unrecognizedrole that bicyclists played in the development  of modern roadways. Reid introduces readers to cycling  personalities, such as Henry Ford, and the cycling advocacy  groups that influenced early road improvements, literally  paving the way for the motor car. When the bicycle morphed  from the vehicle of rich transport progressives in the  1890s to the poor mans transport in the 1920s, some  cyclists became ardent motorists and were all too happy to  forget their cycling roots. But, Reid explains, many motor  pioneers continued cycling, celebrating the shared links  between transport modes that are now seen as worlds apart.  In this engaging and meticulously researched book, Carlton  Reid encourages us all to celebrate those links once  again.},
