Description: "From New York to Los Angeles, Chicago to San Antonio, inner city to penthouse row, pristine park to post-industrial wasteland, the author cycles the streets and paths of fifty of America's largest urban outposts. Part bike-travelogue, part journey through urban history, Biking Through the 'Hoods provides a panoramic, yet ground level, picture of urban America, past and present. You don't need to be an urban cyclist to appreciate Biking Through the 'Hoods, but if you are one, you'll recognize the trials and travails, and occasional triumphs, of navigating the nation's car-dominated cityscapes on two wheels."--P. [4] of cover.
