| Publisher Description: In the follow up to her ten-part series on Grist, bicycle activist and journalist Elly Blue continues to dissect the economic ramifications of the bicycle. Bicycle transportation is good for a lot of things--it's healthy, it's green, it's quiet, it's fun, it builds community. It also makes financial sense, and the magnitude of bicycling's economic impact gets far less attention than it deserves. |
