Cet éloge de la bicyclette passe par trois moments : le mythe, l'épopée et l'utopie. La bicyclette a une dimension mythique qui est à la fois individuelle et collective. Aujourd'hui le mythe a pris un coup. Mais la bicyclette revient par la politique de la ville et son image est l'objet d'un regain d'enthousiasme.

Aujourd'hui le mythe a pris un coup. Mais la bicyclette revient par la politique de la ville et son image est l'objet d'un regain d'enthousiasme. L'opération Vélib' est très insuffisante, mais elle ouvre une espérance. On peut se prendre à rêver et tracer les grands traits de la ville utopique de demain où les transports en commun et la bicyclette seraient les seuls moyens de déplacement en ville et où la paix, l'égalité et le bon air règneraient dans le monde après l'effondrement des magnats du pétrole.

Ce qui ne serait sans doute pas la plus mauvaise approche de la philosophie... " Cette balade proposée par Bernard Chambaz au gré de sa mémoire, de ses sensations, de ses émotions, ressemble à une petite méditation sur des chemins qui ne sont pas dus au hasard, mais à une certaine philosophie de la vie. Tous les amateurs et passionnés trouveront ici de quoi réfléchir à leur tour sur les notions bien concrètes d'espace, de durée, d'effort et d'énergie, mais aussi sur celles plus inattendues de prédestination, d'esthétique, de liberté ou de vérité.

Summary:
Cotten Seiler combs through a vast number of historical, social scientific, philosophical, and literary sources to illustrate the importance of driving to modern American conceptions of the self and the social and political order. He finds that as the figure of the driver blurred into the figure of the citizen, automobility became a powerful resource for women, African Americans, and others seeking entry into the public sphere. And yet, he argues, the individualistic but anonymous act of driving has also monopolized our thinking about freedom and democracy, discouraging the crafting of a more sustainable way of life. As our fantasies of the open road turn into fears of a looming energy crisis, Seiler shows us just how we ended up a republic of drivers—and where we might be headed.
