Reviews:
Thorogood is one of my favourite authors and he easily makes you fall in love with cycling The author covers the history of bikes and cycling in his usual quirky style, he would have been a brilliant teacher, and he makes it really interesting. I enjoyed the descriptions of the many places traveled and as a cyclist I found it entertaining, challenging and in parts, so funny.'

''For bike and cycling enthusiasts, past and present, this is a highly entertaining and informative book, written in a humorous style with bite sized sections making for an easy read. It takes us through the history, from initial invention, via the Penny farthing to the modern high tech versions as well as the hand- made beauties. Some astonishing stats emerge, for example, Raleigh were producing 500,000 bikes per annum around 1949. There's also a number of interesting and amusing anecdotes and even my own earliest bike, the Hercules Falcon makes the list. A truly informative book which will appeal to many.'

'If you love cycling sports or you use your bicycle for recreation or simply for transportation this is the book for you.'
