Originally published in 1972. ## This book is in fine condition: some signs of storage colouring but is not ripped or torn. Plain green cover with black text, loads of pictures and drawings of cycles. Wonderful cycle history book .## ## INTRODUCTION: As a result of some eighty years of technical development, commercial production and worldwide use, the cycle, particularly in the form of the bicycle, has become an integral feature of everyday human life that serves various recreational, social, sporting and practical needs. ## ## The advantages of the modern cycle are well known: it is simple in construction, light in weight, efficient and reliable in operation, and economical to purchase and maintain. It is, in its way, one of the most remarkable practical applications of that unique human invention, the wheel. It provides the cheapest form of transport and is used by twelve million individuals in Great Britain alone and millions worldwide. Its essential mechanical advantage makes a journey of 100 miles possible for the same expenditure of muscular energy required to cover 20 miles on foot. The addition of ultra-light motor units to the cycle, which began as long ago as 1900 and has increased rapidly since 1945, has substantially enlarged its scope of utility and range of operation.## ## Although the commercial production of cycles originated in France, it was not long before England, in general, and Coventry, in particular, took and maintained the lead as the producers of the best cycles obtainable. The text of the Historical Survey, which follows, is intended to serve as an introduction to this story of the development of the cycle with special reference to the National Cycle Collection at the Science Museum, and a separate Catalogue of Exhibits gives detailed technical information about individual items. The number of books published on this subject is not large, particularly after 1900; a list of some of the more important works, most of which are available in the Science Museum Library, will be found at the end. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
