Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bicycles are so much a part of everyday life nowadays, it can be surprising to realize that for the late Victorians these 'velocipedes' were a novelty disparaged as being unhealthy and unsafe - and that indeed tricycles were for a time seen as the format more likely to succeed.Some people however ad…opted the newfangled devices with alacrity, embarking on adventurous tours throughout the countryside. One of them documented his 'rambles' around East Kent in such detail that it is still possible to follow his routes on modern cycles, and compare the fauna and flora (and pubs!) with those he vividly described.In addition to providing today's cyclists with new historical routes to explore, and both naturalists and social historians with plenty of material for research, this fascinating book contains a special chapter on Lady Cyclists in the era before female emancipation, and an unintentionally humorous section instructing young gentlemen how to make their cycle and then ride it.It features over 200 illustrations, and is complemented by a fully updated website.
