This volume serves as an essential guide for cyclists, dealers, and manufacturers, documenting advancements in bicycle construction and accessories from 1816 to 1898. The book explores the evolution of bicycles, providing insights into both chain and chainless models, focusing on their mechanisms, materials, and design improvements. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the significance of 1898 in the history of cycling, noting the improvements in bicycle quality and the economical market conditions that shaped this era. The opening section discusses the history of the bicycle, the lack of a national cycle show that year, and various innovations including the chainless bike's re-emergence. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of cyclists understanding their machines for proper maintenance and optimal performance. This sets the stage for a detailed analysis of bicycle mechanics, different components, and the broader cultural context surrounding cycling at that time.
