The book Cykelsmart, Sweden

In 2011, the organization Svensk cykling (Swedish cycling) published a new edition of the book Cykelsmart (“Bike Smart”). The book contains nine chapters of information, tips, inspiration and arguments on how bicycles can be a good alternative to cars. The chapter “Why start cycling” describes economic incentives as well as health and environmental benefits of cycling.  “Myths and misunderstandings about bicycling” addresses myths such as: you need good physique to start cycling; all bicycles get stolen; bicycling is corny or for children; it is impractical to make errands with a bicycle; and many others. “Take care of your bicycle” provides tips and tricks on how to keep a bike running, and “How to become a good and safe cyclist” provides answers and information about traffic rules, the best routes to school and work, etc.
