I highly recommend that “Illustrated History of the Bicycle”. It moved from my coffee table to my mantle and it’s a hoot.
As far as memoirs go, I’m holding out for one from Fabian Cancellara.
Don’t forget to visit Pedal Bike Tours to check out all the great hand made products from local artists such as panniers from Queen Bee, bracelets from Povera, Helmuffs from Gigi’s Handywork, art from Ben Parsons and Anthony Baysore and more.
