'Pedaling Revolution: How Cyclists are Changing American Cities'  Author 
Jeff Mapes comes to Santa Barbara

ref=dp_image_z_0.jpg

When David Byrne writes your book review for the New York Times, you 
know that you are on to something. Jeff Mapes, political columnist for 
the Oregonian, has come out with a timely piece of investigative 
journalism about the bicycling movement sweeping cities throughout the 
country.A journalist and political columnist with a skill for engaging 
narrative, Mapes presents inside stories from the current high stakes 
NYC bike path battles, to the pioneering of bicycle routes on roadways 
in 1970’s Davis, Ca.

No writer has their finger on the pulse of the growing bicycle movement 
and the public policy struggles it causes like Mapes. Pedaling 
Revolution has a rare 5 stars on the Amazon rating. Notably, Pedaling 
Revolution's write up from Talking Heads frontman and cycling advocate 
David Byrne, but other book reviews as well, have been extremely 
positive. His premise (and subtitle) that bicycles are changing American 
cities is provocative and underscores the tensions surrounding increases 
in bicycling.

The Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition is sponsoring a live talk with Jeff 
Mapes, ‘Pedaling Revolution’ Thursday July 28^th at 7:30pm at the SB 
Public Library’s Faulkner Gallery Jeff will be taking about his book and 
sharing stories from the bicycling movement Books will be available for 
sale after the event. The event is free.
