Abstract

The 1890s saw a drastic boom in bicycling, driven in part by the political and health opportunities brought about by this new machine. Political campaigner Frances Willard even named her bike “Gladys” because of its gladdening effect on her mental health and political optimism. Today, a new bicycling boom is underway across America, particularly in urban areas. This movement holds the hope of numerous health benefits. But how can public and nonprofit agencies best foster this boom?
