So, my parents just got me a rather lovely coffeetable-type book of vintage cycling and history...
Bicycle: Boneshakers, Highwheelers and Other Celebrated Cycles
By Gilbert King - 128 pages - hard cover. This photographic survey is richly illustrated with images of one of the world's largest private collections of bicycles from the 1850s to the 1950s, and includes some never-before-published photographs. From antique high wheelers and "boneshakers" to tandems, tricycles, and circus clown bikes, it provides a fascinating historical retrospective of the bicycle's development and evolution. Courage Books 2002 ISBN # 0-76-241262-3
Pretty cheap on Amazon:

Re: Boneshakers, Highwheelers, and other Celebrated Cycles
Wed, November 30, 2005 - 5:05 PMNice one! have you visited our friend Greg's website yet? He makes them from scratch!

Also, if you are a bicycle history buff, I recommend
"The Art of Urban Cycling"
www.amazon.com/gp/product...405-6740100
The whole beginning of the book is history of bikes, roads, society's relationship with bikes, and all sorts of fun stuff!
I bought that book and love it.
