The Bicycle
The Myth and the Passion. From the High Wheel bicycles that had their heyday in the 1880s to the high-tech racing biycles of today, from the development of ball bearings and pneumatic tires to the development of state-of-art all terrain bikes with waffle tread tyres and heavier frames, this book examines the models and components that have been the fulfillment of the dreams of visionary inventors. Through text and photographs, readers will meet the key players in the world of cycling and gain an understanding of the role of the bicycle in many different fields, ranging from recreation to professional sport, fashion and design.
