The conclusion summarises the findings of the research, arguing that the bicycle was an alternative, counter-cultural technology right from its inception. The bicycle accompanied many of the cultural changes that defined modernity at the turn of the twentieth century, while suggesting alternatives to the mechanised, commodified, accelerated, polluting, violent nature of life in the high industrial era. Current directions in scholarship in this domain are outlined and possible future directions of research are suggested. |
