This a nice book for someone who enjoys bikes and wants to get a glimpse of bicycle history with a small collection of older photos. I like it.

Nicely illustrated book showing bicycles that had an impact on cycling. If you’re a bike lover then I think you would enjoy this book. Lots of history, well written, very thorough. I have read it a couple of times and used it to check on bikes I seen and read about. Good book to add to your library.

I don't think these all "changed the world" of cycling, but it's a good concise presentation of 50 interesting bike designs.

Got this for my husband who loves bicycles. There are some bikes he had not seen! It's a compact book with nice pictures and a brief overview/history with each bike.

Gave this a a present to someone 'into' Bikes and it certainly 'hit the spot' especially as it's not something a young person might buy for themselves.
Dare I say it 'spoke' to the recipient!

I enjoyed this book.
The range of bikes is wide and the arguments for their importance is well stated, in an objective way.
good pictures, good value, a keeper !

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 3, 2014

A good idea poorly produced. Some good photographs but many fall well below professional standard. The descriptions are brief leaving a lot of white paper.
