Cyclogeography

Reviews / Votes

"This is a street-smart, super-sharp exploration of the "soft city" as seen from the saddle; Jon Day has written a bold and clever book about the zone where capital and cycling collide. It fascinated me from first page to last." -- Robert Macfarlane 'Jon Day's freewheeling reflection on his years as a courier reminds the reader of the sensory pleasures of cycling . . . This book makes for an entrancing read that meditates on the connection of both mind and body with the city. Day manages to make you want to be a courier: the romance of the call signals, the camaraderie of waiting for jobs, the connection to the city and its sounds; Cyclogeography will inspire you with reminders of the sensory delights of cycling.' -- Louise Williams 'A charming, absorbing, well-read and intelligent book... You will learn about more than just cycling here.' -- Nick Lezard * Guardian *
