This beautifully curated book explores the artistry, innovation and cultural significance of 50 bicycle designs.
Celebrating 50 remarkable bicycle designs that reveal the artistry and engineering behind an object we often take for granted, this book features classic road bikes, daring racing machines, rugged mountain models and visionary experimental concepts.
From its 19th-century origins to today's cutting-edge innovations, the bicycle has continually evolved to reflect cultural shifts, technological progress and aesthetic ideals. Along with the 1940s Schwinn Cruiser that became known as the newspaper bike for its use in American suburbs and China's Flying Pigeon, which became a symbol of the post-Revolutionary era, there is the F-Frame Moulton, an icon of Swinging Sixties London, and the Italian fixed-gear Bianchi Pista Chrome, as well as many more.
Beauty of Everyday Objects
This small-format, accessible design series celebrates humble, ordinary objects that we interact with every day - the functional and beautiful things that spark joy. Each book features 50 design products that have altered the way we live, work and think.
