SMP Spotlight
Jesse McDonough, "The Bicycle in the Early Progressive Era: Paving the Way
for an American Road System," 2003.
Examines the rise of the bicycle both as a
commodity in an emerging consumer culture and as a mode of transportation
that pointed to the need for more government regulation of traffic in
urbanizing America.
