If it's on the bike, it's in the book. The world of cycling is one of death-defying feats and obscure mechanical oddities, heroics and geekiness in equal measure. In Cyclopedia, renowned two-wheel aficionado and acclaimed sports writer William Fotheringham delves deep into this world to unearth rare nuggets of amazing facts and enthrallling anecdotes. This essential book is an A-Z compendium of everything you could ever want to know about the bicycle, from the history of the Tour de France to Chris Hoy's dominance of the Beijing velodrome, from the origins of the quick-release system to the diet that powered Graeme Obree to the world hour record, from Lance Armstrong's rise and fall to the slang words used for performance-enhancing substances, from the literature of cycling to the perils of vicious dogs. Cyclopedia has all the equipment, the races, the chases, the faces, the places, the drugs, the sex, and the scandals to convert any amateur cyclist into a fully fledged bike expert.

" ... Provides a stimulating introduction for readers with little previous knowledge of history. In our increasingly interdependent world, and understanding of other people and their history is becoming vitally important, but many people find it difficult to acquire an overall view of world history because they do not have attractive starting points. This book fills the gap. In short visual chapters, it provides the bare bones of the major developments in the history of the world. The book looks at individual civilisations and vividly describes how people lived, their discoveries and inventions, their conflicts with rival civilisations and their contributions to our own cultural heritage"--About this book.
