Highlighted Databases: National Bike Month

The Gottesman Libraries

Did you know that May is recognized as National Bike Month, by the League of American Bicyclists, who promote the "chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to giving biking a try"?


In support, we highlight resources that cover the literature of bicycle riding from different perspectives: educational, psychological, economical, environmental. Whether you're commuting to work or going for a spin around the park, you can celebrate this ingenuous two-wheeled vehicle whose history, going strong, dates back to the nineteenth century.
