This book covers the colorful, diverse world of recumbents, including chapters on: History, Racing, Touring, Design, Physics, Home-building and much more. It has received rave reviews and is highly regarded by beginners and experts alike. It doesn't compare brand models, instead it gives pro's and con's and descriptions of all the features and options found on recumbents, and lets the reader decide what combination of options is best for them. The recumbent is the most diversely designed bike type and so deserves an open-ended way to evaluate the huge range of options without bias: this book meets that need. Includes many B&W photos with a 12-page color photo section; black-and-white text; color covers. This is an English edition of a German book.

It is as much a story about perseverance, passion and belief as it is about the people and remarkable landscapes of Siberia and Mongolia. Tim Cope and Chris Hatherly are fearless adventurers, willing and able to open themselves up to everything from the voice of the steppe to the Russian villagers and the nomads of the Gobi desert. From this, they draw an often funny, moving and inspirational tale of living out a dream.

Download or read book Bicycle Design written by Tony Hadland and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative and comprehensive account of the bicycle's two-hundred-year evolution. The bicycle ranks as one of the most enduring, most widely used vehicles in the world, with more than a billion produced during almost two hundred years of cycling history. This book offers an authoritative and comprehensive account of the bicycle's technical and historical evolution, from the earliest velocipedes (invented to fill the need for horseless transport during a shortage of oats) to modern racing bikes, mountain bikes, and recumbents. It traces the bicycle's development in terms of materials, ergonomics, and vehicle physics, as carried out by inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers. Written by two leading bicycle historians and generously illustrated with historic drawings, designs, and photographs, Bicycle Design describes the key stages in the evolution of the bicycle, beginning with the counterintuitive idea of balancing on two wheels in line, through the development of tension-spoked wheels, indirect drives (employing levers, pulleys, chains, and chainwheels), and pneumatic tires. The authors examine the further development of the bicycle for such specific purposes as racing, portability, and all-terrain use; and they describe the evolution of bicycle components including seats, transmission, brakes, lights (at first candle-based), and carriers (racks, panniers, saddlebags, child seats, and sidecars). They consider not only commercially successful designs but also commercial failures that pointed the way to future technological developments. And they debunk some myths about bicycles—for example, the mistaken but often-cited idea that Leonardo sketched a chain-drive bike in his notebooks. Despite the bicycle's long history and mass appeal, its technological history has been neglected. This volume, with its engaging and wide-ranging coverage, fills that gap. It will be the starting point for all future histories of the bicycle.

Download or read book The Recumbent and the Upright written by Sheryl Van Fleet and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story has two of the most unlikely characters you could ever think of in the same breath with the words bicycle adventure. The Van Fleets had really no experience at all as cyclists, when they hatched a quixotic scheme to cross the continent of America by bicycle. To make matters worse they were retirement bound and had collectively picked up the troublesome add-ons of injured backs and knees, high blood pressure and gout, and were overweight and under-exercised to boot! But sequences got the better of them: they discovered recumbent bikes (allowing Sheryl to ride), stumbled upon riding Bike New York (which hooked them on cycling), and then somehow managed to ride across the state of Oregon (which conned them into thinking they might survive trying to cross the entire country). They never once were convinced they would complete the journey, which adds to the Everymanas Adventure quality of this tale "The Recumbent and the Upright,"
