Synopsis

VELO City continues the celebration of the bicycle and its ongoing (r)evolution, because cycling is far more than just an eco-friendly connection from A to B.
 
For a cycling enthusiast, only the perfect bike will do. Engineers adapt their creations to every terrain and every taste – from chic baroque bicycles with frivolous details to colorful pushbikes; from remakes of classic cruisers to robust cargo bikes. Fully equipped SUV two-wheelers are ready to roam through rocky terrain, while the latest electric technologies are perfect for pushing tired muscles up the steepest climb. And don’t forget the gear: independent companies are constantly releasing fashionable and functional equipment to satisfy any cyclist’s needs.
 
As one of the the most sustainable, healthy, and economical means of transportation in today's metropolises, the bicycle has the power to change our future profoundly. Time to explore that future – come take a breath of fresh air with VELO City.

About the Author:

gestalten continues to actively reimagine the way in which we approach publishing. With our extensive range of titles, we not only seek to enhance and to enrich our reader's lives, but to continually engage with the surrounding creative landscape.

Our origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both our content and our expertise has widened. Today, using a myriad of observations of culture, people, art, and other intimate inspirational informants, we document and anticipate vital movements in architecture, visual culture, design & fashion, escapism, food & beverages, travel, and contemporary art. In 2014, Little Gestalten joined the literary ranks and ensured that there was a place for readers of all ages within the world of gestalten.
