"Cycling for Health and Pleasure" presents the reader with a detailed
and accessible guide to cycling, with chapters on learning to cycle,
preventing accidents, appropriate attire, etiquette, touring, and much
more. Both a fascinating insight into cycling a hundred years ago and a
timeless handbook for modern cyclists, this volume will be of
considerable utility to beginners and is not to be missed by collectors
of vintage sporting literature of this ilk. Contents include: "Cycling
for Health", "Learning", "Riding and Touring", "Accidents, and their
Prevention", "Correct Pedaling", "Speed and Gearing", "Training",
"Cycling Costume", "Practical Points", et cetera. Many vintage books
such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are
republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern
edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the
History of the Bicycle.
