Nelson, Sarah

Three cheers for the birth of the bicycle! Hop on for a jaunty, rhythmic ride through a playfully illustrated history.

From the pedal-less, brakeless wooden velocipedes of the 1800s to the sleek racing machines of today, from a luxury for the wealthy to a lifeline for the working class, the bicycleā€™s journey is a study in invention, innovation, and ingenuity. Sarah Nelsonā€™s affectionate and poetic tribute covers almost a century of the two-wheelerā€™s development, while Iacopo Brunoā€™s bold, bright artwork illuminates this marvel of engineering. Cycling enthusiasts as well as budding mechanical engineers, inventors, tinkerers, and dreamers will revel in this fact-packed nonfiction adventure storyā€”complete with a time line and other lively back matter designed to remind readers how truly extraordinary everyday objects can be.
