First published in 1895, this vintage guide to cycling presents a wealth
of interesting information about the sport from a time when it
experienced an explosion of popularity. With chapters on buying,
appropriate attire, and health benefits, this timeless volume will be of
utility to modern cycling enthusiasts and those just starting out.
Profusely illustrated and insightful, "Pleasure-Cycling" would make for
a fantastic addition to any library and is not to be missed by
collectors of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: "The Poetry
of Motion", "Choosing a Bicycle", "How to Ride", "Taking Care of a
Bicycle", "Dress and Equipment", "Cycling and Health", and "On the
Road". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce
and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable,
modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new
introduction on the History of the Bicycle.
