Book excerpt: An authoritative and comprehensive account of the bicycle's two-hundred-year evolution. The bicycle ranks as one of the most enduring, most widely used vehicles in the world, with more than a billion produced during almost two hundred years of cycling history. This book offers an authoritative and comprehensive account of the bicycle's technical and historical evolution, from the earliest velocipedes (invented to fill the need for horseless transport during a shortage of oats) to modern racing bikes, mountain bikes, and recumbents. It traces the bicycle's development in terms of materials, ergonomics, and vehicle physics, as carried out by inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers. Written by two leading bicycle historians and generously illustrated with historic drawings, designs, and photographs, Bicycle Design describes the key stages in the evolution of the bicycle, beginning with the counterintuitive idea of balancing on two wheels in line, through the development of tension-spoked wheels, indirect drives (employing levers, pulleys, chains, and chainwheels), and pneumatic tires. The authors examine the further development of the bicycle for such specific purposes as racing, portability, and all-terrain use; and they describe the evolution of bicycle components including seats, transmission, brakes, lights (at first candle-based), and carriers (racks, panniers, saddlebags, child seats, and sidecars). They consider not only commercially successful designs but also commercial failures that pointed the way to future technological developments. And they debunk some myths about bicycles—for example, the mistaken but often-cited idea that Leonardo sketched a chain-drive bike in his notebooks. Despite the bicycle's long history and mass appeal, its technological history has been neglected. This volume, with its engaging and wide-ranging coverage, fills that gap. It will be the starting point for all future histories of the bicycle.

Download or read book Early Cycle Lighting 1868-1948 written by Peter W. Card and published by Crowood Press (UK). This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very soon after the development and popularization of the bicycle in the nineteenth century, keen cyclists realised that in order to cycle in the dark, some form of lighting was essential, both to light the way ahead, but also to alert other road users. Manufacturers were quick to respond to demand, and soon a wide range of simple lamps was available, usually fuelled by oil. But cycle lamps quickly grew in sophistication as makers tried to out-do one another with the style and efficiency of their lamps. The acetylene cycle lamps of the early part of the twentieth century are stunning examples of decorative design and manufacture. Peter Card has been collecting early lamps, in all the bewildering varieties, for decades. This detailed book covering eighty years of cycle lamps is the result of years of reasearch. AUTHOR: Peter Card runs an auction business specializing in transport memorabilia. He has been collecting for many yaers. He is a member of the Advisory Council of the National Motor Museum. He lives in Somerset. SELLING POINTS: A detsiled and engrossing book covering the period 1868-1948; eighty years of cycle lamps from candle to batetry powered. Of great interest to anyone interested in early bicycles and transport memorabilia in general. 340 colour photos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of inventions was born more than 10 centuries ago. 10,000 years of inventions and creations of the human being, of the so-called Homus Sapiens. This book traces the history of the most important inventions and discoveries that have happened throughout the centuries, this work defines in an extended and very complete way the definition of all those creations that some geniuses created in their day. From the most remote antiquity, those stone tools created in the era of the Cromagnon man, to the most advanced cybernetic and digital technologies of our time. As an author, I realized when writing this book, that although we think we know almost everything, we do not really know almost anything...

Download or read book Cycling and the British written by Neil Carter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycling is currently enjoying a boom in popularity. What are the reasons behind this phenomenon? How have perceptions and the popularity of cycling shifted? This book charts the historical development of cycling both as a leisure and sporting activity since the 19th century and explores the wider political and cultural context in which cycling in Britain emerged. In particular, it examines cycling's relationship with environmental politics and its place in popular culture. Neil Carter successfully traverses several historical sub-disciplines, including the history of transport, leisure, sport, medicine and politics, employing the analytical tools of class, gender, political culture, the role of the state and commercialism to demonstrate how British identity has shaped and been shaped by cycling. At a time when it has become part of debates over transport and health, Cycling and the British: A Modern History provides a timely and clear analysis of the changes and continuities in attitudes towards cycling.
