“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.the picture of free untrammeled womanhood.”<\/p>\n

Susan B. Anthony, 1896<\/p>\n

For the past few years, I have been thinking of whether cities can survive if they depend almost solely on being car dependent. Cities that are doing well provide a lot of transportation options – San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. I think cities that survive will create greater opportunities for active transportation and those that don’t accommodate walkers, bikers, scooters, buses and subways will die when gas hits $5 to $10 a gallon. We just released a special edited issue of _Sustain: Journal of Environmental and Sustainability Issues_ that has a focus on urban active transportation – walking and biking as a means of creating better health, cleaner air and new economic opportunities.

\nI (John “Hans” Gilderbloom) and Wesley Meares of the University of Louisville, Center for Sustainable Urban neighborhoods ( http:\/\/sun.louisville.edu<\/a> ) helped organized this special issue featuring leading thinkers of active transportation: Tom Vanderbilt, Dan Burden, Todd Litman, Christopher B. Leinberger, John Gilderbloom, Mary Lou Northern, Wesley Meares, and Brooke Driesse. <\/p>\n
