Product Description
Synopsis
The idea of an International Cycle History Conference was born in 1990, when Nicholas Clayton, editor of the British veteran cycle periodical "The Boneshaker", organized the first conference of its kind in Glasgow, in conjuction with KM150, the MacMillan aniversary. In subsequent years, similiar conferences were held in Saint Etienne, France (1991), Neckarsulum, Germany (1992) and Cambridge (1994). The 4th International Cycle History Conference, organized by the Lallement Memorial Committee, was held in Boston, USA in October 1993. This volume is a record of the 18 texts and papers delivered at the conference, including "Who invented the bicycle - Lallement in 1863 or Michaux in 1861?" (by David Herlihy), "The quest for the medieval hobby horse velocipede" (by Roger Street), "Bicycles in flight" (by Charles Meinert), and "Bicycling for ladies" (by Kathryn Carse). This collection of academic research on the early history of the bicycle also includes biographical and source footnotes.
