An Alternative History Of Bicycles And Motorcycles: Two-Wheeled Transportation And Material Culture - 9781498528795

This book challenges the common evolutionary model of development from the bicycle to the motorcycle. It examines the bicycle and motorcycle as material objects and focuses on the complex socio-political and economic convergences that produced the materials, which in turn shaped the vehicles' appearance, function, and adoption by riders.
