The bicycle is over 200 years old — and more important today than ever. It is a companion in all areas of life, a mechanical marvel, a sports device, and a machine of freedom, as well as a key element in creating more livable cities of the future.

The Bicycle Book presents comprehensive knowledge about cycling through more than 1,000 graphics, maps, and illustrations. It explores everything from the early “running machine” to ultra-light carbon racing bikes and modern e-cargo bikes. It also captures the joy of riding, the infamous “bonk” (energy crash), and the thrill of cycling adventures.

The book takes readers on journeys through the most beautiful cycling routes, legendary mountains of the sport, and iconic moments from the Tour de France. It also looks at car-free mobility, the growing cycling culture, and even the best songs and films about cycling.

A richly illustrated book for browsing and discovery — perfect for anyone who loves life on two wheels.
