Mr Photo –
Beautiful book. Quite hefty and comprehensive. The layout and images are beautiful. Well worth the purchase price. It basically follows the evolution of racing, leisure, utility, and other types of bikes a decade at a time. Also includes recumbent, folding, mountain and BMX bikes. If you are interested in the evolution of bikes or nostalgic for bikes of previous decades, you can’t go wrong with this book. I have not found any other book that compares.

The book we ordered arrived in good time and in very good condition. Initially, the book apparently included two frameable photos and those were not in the book we received.

I bought a big book on Bicycles with lots of text and not a lot of good pictures, big mistake.
Than I bought DKs book on Bicycles. They have the kind of books I like: gorgerous big pictures enough text to learn something without feeling like I am preparing for a school exam. Beautiful Pictures, eye candy, say alot and keep me awake. Bikes have also been a work of art.
I love DK books what was I thinking when I bought the History of Bicycles.

Gave this as a gift to a close friend who is an extreme cyclist and he thought it was fantastic. He said he learned a lot about the early history of bicycles and that the color photos were simply outstanding. It is a very large book and indeed it turned out to be a fantastic present for anyone interested in bicycles

This was purchased as a birthday gift for a person who is never happy with what they receive and will complain about everything. We know that this person enjoys riding and restoring bikes. This book is gorgeous and features so many different types of bikes through the years, with interesting information as well as photos and diagrams. For the first time that we can remember, the unappreciative recipient looked and sounded sincerely grateful for the gift. Yes, we were silently shocked by this. This just goes to show that this is the prefect book for a bicycle enthusiast.
