Rilegato. Condition: nuovo. New. Hardcover. Inexpensive to produce, easy to maintain and harmless to the environment, the bicycle is a triumph of the human genius for invention, comparable to the discovery of the wheel itself. From the middle of the eighteenth century, when amateur engineers experimented with manpowered vehicles, cycles have undergone innumerable transfonnations to become the multi-geared models of today, but throughout the decades of experimentation they have remained the most efficient way of converting energy into forward motion. In A History of Bicycles, Serena Beeley, Curator of the National Cycle Museum, charts the development of cycles and cycling in Europe and America. Beginning with the earliest velocipedes, she follows the technical innovations and alterations in design, size and weight through Ordinaries and Safeties to the familiar diamond-frame on which most presentday bicycles are based, together with the parallel improvements in tandems and tricycles. Equally importantly, she reminds us of the personalities who have shaped this development, the legendary engineers and manufacturers who competed with each other at the great annual shows, the pioneering female riders who endured widespread discrimination to win freedom of the roads for women, the heroic sportsmen who pushed themselves to ever greater feats of endurance in such classic events as the Tour de France. The text is accompanied throughout by a generous range of colour and black and white illustrations. As the earth's natural resources dwindle and concern about pollution grows, the bicycle offers the ideal means to transfonn the shape of human transport. For everybody who appreciates its importance, whether as a leisure cyclist, a commuter or a simple enthusiast, this fascinating book offers a record of 200 years of pedal power., Ill. bn: 120+, Ill. colori: 150+, Peso: 980 gr.…
