Illustrated in full
colour with a wide range
of photographs, The
History of Cycling in
Fifty bikes tells the
story of the bicycle
through 50 iconic
machines, starting with
the first primitive
wooden two-wheelers
through to carbon-fibre
super bikes and the
designs of the future,
celebrating sporting
achievements,
technological advances
and world records along
with way.For an invention
that has only been around
for 200 years, the
simple bicycle has
changed the world in many
ways. It democratised
travel for the first
time, allowing ordinary
people to travel at
reasonable speed without
need of a horse, to
commute further afield to
work and to enjoy the
benefits of the
countryside. It has
challenged social
conventions, granting
women a new-found
freedom, and it has
played an important role
in wartime, whether used
by British paratroopers
or in Vietnamese supply
lines. Today, despite
the prevalence of the
car, the bicycle is as
important as ever, with
more cycles appear on
city streets each year.
Bikes come in all shapes
and sizes and the history
of cycling is on of
innovation in design:
from Macmillan`s first
pedal-driven cycle to the
eccentric Dursley
Pedersen, and from the
1960s iconic Moulton to
the free-styling BMX,
the humble cycle
continues to surprise and
delight in equal measure.

It`s time we all stopped
whining and learned a
thing or two from The
Toughest Cyclists Ever.
Including:Stephen Roche,
whose cure for exhaustion
was to go up a gear and
fight harder, all the
way to the ambulance.
Eddy Merckx, who hurt
himself so badly in
breaking the Hour record
that, he estimated, he
shortened his career by a
year. Beryl Burton, who
crushed her (male)
rival`s morale with the
offer of a piece of
liquorice, before
speeding past to victory.
Nicole Cooke and Edwig
Van Hooydonck, who
rejected dope and became
legends.The Hardmen tells
the stories - the good
bits, anyway - of the 40
most heroic Cyclists
ever. Their bravery,
their panache and their
Perfect Amount of Dumb.It
reminds us that suffering
on a bike liberates us
from our daily lives,
and that, in the words
of Lance Armstrong
”pain is temporary,
quitting lasts
forever”; proof that
even assholes can be
insightful.
