Many of us have known the bicycle since childhood. It goes to work and carry cargo, set records and make trips around the world. A cyclist can be found almost everywhere. In some countries, there are more bicycles than people. It is so familiar that we rarely think about how and when it was invented. Meanwhile, this relatively recent invention is a good illustration of the technological progress of recent centuries and to some extent one of the engines of this progress. Externally simple, the bike has gathered the most advanced technical achievements – from vulcanized rubber and ball bearing to carbon fiber and computer simulation of aerodynamics.

Every time we look at the bicycle, we admire its elegant simplicity, behind which, if you look closely, you can see the fruits of the labors of a huge number of people. This book provides a brief but vivid account of the history of the bicycle, its evolution, its impact on society and the basic elements of its design.

The history of the bicycle is a story about the most advanced achievements of technology, about the revolution in the minds and the changing appearance of cities.
