De l'époque du vélocipède aux vélos de haute technologie d'aujourd'hui, plongez dans l'histoire du vélo.
L'ancien médaillé d'or olympique du cyclisme et détenteur du record du monde Chris Boardman est l'un des concepteurs de vélos les plus influents au monde. Dans la biographie du vélo, il examine l'évolution du vélo moderne de l'invention des pédales aux innovations récentes en matière d'engrenage électronique. Les histoires complètes de chaque développement (comme le dérailleur moderne) qui ont contribué à faire avancer la conception des vélos, et comment ces inventions se sont imposées sur le marché général, sont présentées dans tous leurs détails fascinants. Complet avec les profils des cyclistes et des designers qui ont été à la pointe de la conception de vélos au fil des décennies, le livre examine également les tendances culturelles, telles que les trajets à vélo et le VTT, qui ont stimulé les progrès dans le design.
Les premiers efforts de conception aérodynamique, la standardisation du cadre « double diamant » et l'introduction des roues à disque vous permettent de voir toute l'histoire de votre transport à deux roues préféré. Fortement illustré avec des photos de vélos, des gros plans d'équipement et des photos d'action historiques de cyclistes célèbres tels que Greg Lemond, Jan Ullrich et Fausto Coppi en font un livre qu'aucun amateur de vélo, de réducteur ou de course ne voudra manquer
