Note:\u00a0 Your reading response should respond to at least either the Handy reading or the Norton reading.<\/p>\n

Peter Norton is a historian looking at the rise of the automobile in America.\u00a0 Susan Handy is an engineer\/city planner looking at the problems of our system of transportation and why they have been resistant to change.\u00a0 What is meant by “the social construction of technology,”\u00a0 and what does Norton mean when he says “before the city could be physically reconstructed for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed.”\u00a0 What relevance do you think Norton’s story–about how roads came to be controlled by “motordom,” has for thinking about bicycling in America?\u00a0 What does Norton mean by “motordom.”\u00a0 What are the two main groups of “transportation professionals” Handy sees?\u00a0 What are some of the idea or beliefs that hold each one together?\u00a0 Handy talks about obvious problems with our system of transportation.\u00a0 What are the reasons that change has been slow?

What reason do you think Roger Geller or Peter Furth would give for why urban Americans don’t cycle more?\u00a0 Would you agree with them?\u00a0 Do you see examples of motornormativity in these readings?\u00a0 Where?\u00a0 Where do you see yourself fitting on the four types of cyclists?\u00a0 Given the way Furth breaks down the types of bicycle infrastructure, which of these would you be comfortable riding?\u00a0 Respond to the questions on “Professor Bassett Bikes to Costco\/Wegmans.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ivan Illich, Energy and Equity (New York, Harper and Row, 1974), 3-19, 59-64<\/a>;\u00a0Susan Handy, \u201cFreedom,\u201d\u00a0 in\u00a0Shifting Gears:\u00a0 Toward a New Way of Thinking About Transportation\u00a0<\/em>(Cambridge:\u00a0 MIT Press, 2023),<\/a><\/p>\n

Advertisment, “Freedom for the Woman who Owns a Ford”\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

We typically see greater energy as a positive\/liberating thing.\u00a0 Why do we do that and does Illich agree?\u00a0 Illich says that “high quanta of energy degrade social relations,” and that a society\u2019s equity is inversely proportional to its level of energy use.\u00a0 Why does he say that?\u00a0 Do you see anything in our society that supports or refutes Illich\u2019s ideas?\u00a0 We often usually associate the automobile with freedom.\u00a0 Why do we do that?\u00a0 Are there ways in which the automobile makes us less free?\u00a0 (makes others less free?)\u00a0 What are they?
