Bicycle: The History
In this, the ultimate history of the bicycle, David Herlihy recounts the saga of this far-reaching invention and the passions it aroused. The pioneer racer insisted the bicycle would become as common as umbrellas. Mark Twain was more skeptical, enjoining his reader to get a bicycle. You will not regret it-if you live. Herlihy shows readers why the bicycle captured the public's imagination and the myriad ways in which it reshaped the world.
