About This Item
Signed first edition.
" Learning to ride a bicycle is a rite of passage engrained in the childhood memories of most New Zealanders. The joy and freedom associated with mastering that magic combination of balance, steering and speed is unforgettable. From that moment, young pedallers have followed various two-wheeled paths - road and track racing, mountain biking, cycle commuting and more. This book explores them all and in doing so fills a key gap in our history."
( from the Prologue)
The cover is in very good condition. There is light surface rubbing and minor bumping of the corners.
The text is is extremely good condition, there are no annotation or signs of ageing.
There are numerous photos, colour and black & white, throughout, many which are full page.

We are happy to provide further photos and information on request.
