Encyclopedia 2001: International Guide to Alternatives in Cycling (Encycleopedia: The International Buyer's Guide to Alternatives in Cycling)

Throughout the world the bicycle continues to withstand the assault of time.

This full-color aficionado's guide from the publishers of Bike Culture Quarterly provides all of the essential information, including where to buy, and manufacturers' profiles on all the cutting edge cycles, both the one-of-a-kind models and new models that have gone into mass production. The number of alternatives to yesteryear's traditional bicycle design--and the sheer magnitude of accessories to accompany them--is astonishing, and they're all here in this tour-de-force compendium.
