The Bicycle Book

Paul de Moor, illustrations Wendy Panders

A ride through the turbulent history of the bicycle Filled to the brim with fun facts and fascinating stories With playful illustrations by Wendy Panders

A book for both amateur cyclists and true pedal knights. But also for lazybones who love air bikes.

Did you know that: • The invention of the bicycle can be linked to an abundance of horse poo? • The first bike did not even have pedals? • The best artists have a predilection for the bicycle?

So grease your chain, put on your helmet and dive into the turbulent history of the best invention ever: the bicycle!

Paul de Moor fully uses his literary creativity, and clear language and word play add a humorous touch.
