Read the premise and went
Read the premise and went through the index page – sounds super interesting. I’ve been recently reading a lot on this ecological concept – Climax Community – an ecological term used to denote an ecosystem or community of plants, animals and other living organisms that has achieved equilibrium, or become stable. It would be wonderful to see any research angle on whether cycling and reduction of fuel vehicles can actually encourage and facilitate the ecosystem to self heal and attain equilibrium.

Ok, I think it’s interesting
Ok, I think it’s interesting because it’s about cycling and the discoursal representation of cycling in our society. It’s based on research and not on bollocks. It’s written by a researcher who is also a cycling activist. This, my friend, is the reason why I think this book may be interesting.Anonymous

Well, you said it was interesting and started a thread, so the least you can do is say why you think it is interesting.

Well, I was kind of assuming anyone can decide for themselves how/if a book is interesting. There’s a general description plus every chapter has an abstract.£40. A lot for a book? Quite reasonable for a pair of tyres? Again, you decide.
