“Traffic” is a must-read for all humans.

Traffic is quite good. I read the book and bought the audio so I could listen on a long trip. When I first picked it up, I had to put it back down and run to the store for highlighters and postit notes!

I have not read “Traffic”, but I do follow his blog: http://www.howwedrive.com/

It’s not necessarily about bicycling. More about transportation and infrastructure in general, but I enjoy it.

I’m considering getting a group together to read and discuss this book (or another) as part of my Bicycle Commuting Meetup later this year. I’ve also been hearing a lot of references to “Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)” and am considering that one.

Interesting book. But that cover really makes me ill.

I’ve reached the halfway point tonight. Thus far, nothing has been “preached” about one aspect over the other. Just various cities and how they have started to increase cycling within their community.

Later chapters are titled “Overcoming the Safety Barriers” and “Bringing Kids Back to Bikes”. Give me until Friday and I can answer the validity of your impression.

What is the theme of the book? From reading the reviews on Amazon I get the impression that it is trying to preach the benefits of the segregated bicycle infrastructure. What was your take on it?
