Synopsis: There are a number of moments that serve as waypoints in everyone's life. Your first childhood memory, your first day at school, a kiss, a wedding, the birth of a child. But among these memories, one remains indelible - the day you first learned to ride a bike. The Splendid Book of the Bicycle is a spectacular celebration of the bike in all its glory, from the early days of the Pedestrian Hobby Horse and the (surprisingly nippy) Penny Farthing to today's super-stylish fixies. Meet the intrepid adventurers who travelled the world on their rickety old steeds, amazing Victorian trick cycling teams, and the sporting greats of the Tour, velodrome and BMX track. Explore the science of balance and aerodynamics, what a bike looks like in bits, and, most importantly, find out how to fall off safely! This is the companion to mankind's greatest companion (apart from his dog) - his bike.
