A rip-roaring narrative celebration of the 21st century's great transport success story: the bicycle. Millions of us now cycle, some obsessively, & this glorious concoction of history, anecdote, adventure & lycra-clad pedalling is the perfect read for two-wheelers of all kinds. Two wheels. A frame. Two pedals. What could be simpler than a bicycle? & yet the bike
- old, & cheap, & slightly comic
- continues to inspire a passionate following. Since the millennium its use in Britain has doubled, & then doubled again. Thousands now cycle to work, & more take it up every day. In trial after trial, it is the bike which reaches its urban destination faster than the car, the bus, the underground or the pedestrian. Self-reliant & straightforward, cycling has recycled itself. It is an antiquated idea, & its time has finally come. But what is it about the bicycle that so enchants us? & why do its devotees become so obsessed with it? Acclaimed & prize-winning author Bella Bathurst takes us on a journey through cycling's best stories & strangest incarnations, from the bicycle as weapon of twentieth-century warfare to the secret life of couriers & the alchemy of framebuilding. With a cast of characters including the woman who watercycled across the Channel, the man who raced India's Deccan Queen train & several of today's top cyclists, she offers us a brilliantly engaging portrait of cycling's past, present & world-conquering future. The result is a story of passion & obsession, of exultation, endeavour, & risk. Above all, it is the story of partnership between man & machine, perfectly balanced -- a story of love & souplesse.
