Bike Boom: the Unexpected Resurgence of Cycling, 217 DOI 10.5822/ 978-1-61091-817-6, © 2017 Carlton Reid Acknowledgments Thanks to all at Island Press, including but not only Heather Boyer and Mike Fleming. For their patience, thanks are due to the loves of my life—my wife, Jude, and my children, Josh, Hanna, and Ellie Reid. Thanks also to my Kickstarter backers, listed overleaf. As much of this book is based on original research, it has involved wading through personal papers and dusty archives. Librarians in America and the UK proved to be exceptionally helpful. It was wonderful—albeit distracting— to work in such gob-stoppingly beautiful libraries such as the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and the library at the Royal Automobile Club in London. I paid numerous (fruitful) visits to the National Cycling Archive at the Modern Records Centre at Warwick University, and while this doesn’t have the architectural splendor of the former libraries, it more than made up for it in the wonderful array of records deposited by the Cyclists’ Touring Club and other bodies. I also looked at Ministry of Transport papers held in The National Archives in Kew, London (which is the most technologically advanced archive I have ever visited, but the concrete building leaves a lot to be desired). Portions of chapters 1 and 6 were previously published in Roads Were Not Built for Cars (Carlton Reid, Island Press, 2015). However, I have expanded the content, including adding more period sources.

But first, let’s zoom out to look at the bigger picture with Google’s Ngram Viewer. This is an online book-scraping tool developed by Google in 2010 with the help of scientists at Harvard University. The massive searchable database comprises more than 5 million books—both fiction and non-fiction— published between 1800 and 2000. Plotting the search terms “cycling boom,” “bike boom,” and “bicycle boom” throws up three mountain ranges, peaking at 1940, 1980, and 2000. (Quite why the 1895–97 boom doesn’t spike in Ngram is anybody’s guess.) The 1940 mountain, peaking after the stellar sales of the mid-1930s, is K2, with Everest being the 1980 mountain. Mount 1980’s climb started at the end of the 1960s, and climbed steeply through the 1970s. This tallies reasonably well with bicycle sales, as well as bicycling’s popularity. The Ngram results are English-language only; a Dutch-language Ngram would result in different peaks and troughs. Clearly, the Dutch bike booms are of a different order of magnitude to the booms elsewhere in the world. The US and UK bike booms are also different although it may be a surprise to many to discover that there were any pre-1970s bike booms in either country. 1890s The phrase “bike boom” was first used in the 1890s, when the wordbike —once frowned upon as a slang word—started to become more generally used, even in Carlton Reid, Bike Boom: The Unexpected Resurgence of Cycling, 221 DOI 10.5822/ 978-1-61091-817-6, © 2017 Carlton Reid. 222 | BIKE BOOM Bicycle boom, 1896. Cartoon from Puck magazine, January 1896. polite society. “Cyclomania” was greatest in America and Britain, but the “cycling craze” also spread to France, the Netherlands, and Germany, as can be witnessed by the phrases “la mode de la bicyclette,” “de wielermanie,” and “den Siegeslauf des Fahrrads.” In this era, cycling was for the elites, from the middle classes to royalty, not yet the workers. The boom started in 1896 and was over by 1897. 1925 By the end of the 1920s, cycling was a popular form of transport for working people all over Europe, most especially in the Netherlands and the “cycling city” of Copenhagen. This boom—an actual and steady boom—was woefully underreported in the media. There had been a “Boom in Bicycle Sales” reported theNew York Times, quoting DeWitt Page, vice president of General Motors.

  • Tour De France
    Tour de France The Tour de France is the world’s most famous, and arguably the hardest, cycling race. It takes place every year and lasts for a total of three weeks, covering almost 3,500km. History of the Race During the late 19th century, cycling became a popular hobby for many people. As time went on, organised bike races were introduced and professional cycling became very popular in France. On 6th July 1903, 60 cyclists set off on a race and covered 2,428km in a circular route over six stages. 18 days after setting off, 21 of the original 60 cyclists made it back to the finish line in Paris. The winner was Maurice Garin and the Tour de France was born. Except for war time, the race has taken place every year since then and has become more challenging with the addition of mountain climbs and longer distances. The Modern Tour de France Each year, the tour begins in a different country. The route changes annually too, though usually finishes on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. In 2019, the race starts in Brussels, Belgium on the 6th July and ends in Paris on the 28th July after 21 stages totalling a distance of 3,460km. There are 22 teams taking part in the Tour de France, each with eight riders. The reigning champion is Welsh cyclist Geraint Thomas.

  • What Share of Courier Deliveries Could Be Made by Electric Cargo Bikes?
    Technical Potential and User Requirements for the Implementation of Electric Cargo Bikes in Courier Logistics Services GRUBER, Johannes; EHRLER, Verena; LENZ, Barbara TECHNICAL POTENTIAL AND USER REQUIREMENTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRIC CARGO BIKES IN COURIER LOGISTICS SERVICES GRUBER, Johannes. German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Transport Research EHRLER, Verena. German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Transport Research LENZ, Barbara. German Aerospace Center (DLR) – Institute of Transport Research ABSTRACT In urban areas, the vast majority of courier logistics deliveries consists of small shipments over short distances. In order to minimize harmful ecological, social and economic effects, a mode-shift from combustion engine vehicles to electric cargo bikes has been suggested by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment. This article shows a technical substitution potential between 19% and 48% of the mileage carried out by combustion engine vehicles, based on goods volumes and shipment distances. The general user anticipation regarding this implementation seems to be favorable. Electric cargo bikes seem compatible with a messenger’s job organization. However, electric range and purchase price are still seen as critical issues.
