Description
Laura's got a book out and we're here to plug it, 1) because it's brilliant and 2) because it'd be awkward if we didn't. Potholes and Pavements: A Bumpy Ride on Britain’s National Cycle Network is the story of the UK's fitful, sometimes painful transformation from a car-dependent nation of villages, towns and cities into a connected, bikeable network of communities. It's out on 9th May at all good bookstores. Go and get a copy!
