    As a keen recreational cyclist, I'm interested in how appealing cycling is to other socialists? Also how the history of cycling has been affected worldwide and by automobile ownership and sports culture.

    Don't tell me you want to resurrect the Clarion Cycle club to distribute the StandardWe have a German comrade, Norbert Sanders (i haven't heard of him in a while) but he was a full time employee of a bike co-op/NGO group in Frankfurt that made maps and guides and cooperated and coordinated with the city council and others to promote bikes as alternative travel.
