Created at the dawn of the industrial age, bicycles remain the perfect, sustainable means of transportation. This engaging history traces the vehicle's evolution, and the creation of new technologies and materials, from the first velocipedes through today's elite racing and mountain models. In addition, it pays homage to the leading manufacturers and peers into the future to suggest what the bike of tomorrow might look like.
