Bicycle: The History Paperback - 2006
by David V. Herlihy
In this, the ultimate history of the bicycle, David Herlihy recounts the saga of this far-reaching invention and the passions it aroused. The pioneer racer insisted the bicycle would become "as common as umbrellas." Mark Twain was more skeptical, enjoining his reader to "get a bicycle. You will not regret it-if you live." Herlihy shows readers why the bicycle captured the public's imagination and the myriad ways in which it reshaped the world.
First line
Think back to your first cycling experience, the moment you wobbled beyond the clutches of an anxious parent, without recourse to training wheels.
