520    "In its most recent ranking, Bicycling Magazine named New 
       York the number one American city for cycling. But long 
       before the Citi Bike era, New York has stood out as an 
       important city in the history and development of cycling--
       as a pastime and a mirror of the city's shifting social, 
       economic, and structural developments. In Bicycles and the
       Boroughs, Evan Friss traces the storied history of 
       bicycling in the Big Apple, from the bicycle-like 
       "draisine" in 1818 adopted by a small number of 
       enthusiasts; to New York's ascent to the capital of the 
       cycling world in the 1890s, which among other things 
       triggered increased female mobility and corresponding 
       conversations about the propriety of women cyclists; to 
       Mayor Koch's bike ban of 1987 after the stock market's 
       collapse, which shed light on the ways bankers, lawyers, 
       and other professionals relied on this labor force and the
       immediacy of the information they delivered. Finally, the 
       history shifts to Michael Bloomberg's Citi Bike initiative,
       the largest bike sharing system in the country, in an 
       effort to make New York a "greener" city. But even in the 
       wake of the program's mass adoption, Friss brings to light
       ongoing public debates over the location of bike lanes, 
       the dangers of biking in certain areas, whether the 
       program's financial model is sustainable, and the ways in 
       which cycling will continue to shape and be shaped by the 
       city"--|cProvided by publisher.
