Summary; In recent years, public health campaigns advocating regular exercise have tended to overlook one of the simplest and most effective ways of getting fit - cycling. The benefits are not simply limited to shaping up. Riding to work or school means you can exercise as part of the daily routine. Cycling also has much to contribute to the wider public health. Getting on your bike can help reduce air and noise pollution and the increasingly alarming problem of urban congestion. However, the fitness and environmental advantages are frequently overshadowed by fears of injury on our often dangerous roads. Cyclists' concerns are also poorly addressed in current transport policy - a situation this book seeks to redress. The book should be of interest to the general reader, those working in health promotion and education, policy makers and pressure groups. Subjects; Cycling - Safety measures.

Writing - and often experimenting - in verse of great technical proficiency and range. Sándor Weöres uses primitive (and even invented) mythology to remind us of the far-off roots of our civilization. Nature and Hungarian folk-lore are very prominent in the prolific, passionate verses of Ferenc Juhász, a poet at odds with his time, who has nevertheless contributed to it some of its finest work.' ***'Penguin Modern European Poets is designed to present, in verse translations, the work of significant poets of this century for readers unfamiliar with the original languages. The series already includes Yevtushenko, Rilke, Apollinaire, Prévert, Quasimodo, a volume of Greek poets, Miroslav Holub, Zbigniew Herbert, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Günter Grass, Vasko Popa, Anna Akhmatova, and Eugenio Montale.'
