How roads were not built for cars
Event Information
Description
Carlton Reid explains why motorists ought to be *thanking* cyclists, not running them off the roads! The cyclists of the 1880s and 1890s were instrumental in getting roads improved; the first cars were built around cycle technology; and the first motorists were mostly cyclists, too.
Carlton is the executive editor of BikeBiz.com and has been the editor of the cycle industry’s trade magazine for 20+ years. His talk will be based on his highway book: How roads were not built for cars.
