Abstract
Most historical literature focuses in cycling as an urban phenomenon in North America. However, in the semi-rural setting of northern Alberta, in the west of Canada, other explanations for the popularity of the bicycle are required. This papper suggest that it was largely economic imperatives that influenced the form and function of cycling in Edmonton, a notion that serves to contextualise the formation and early development of the Edmonton Bicycle Club
