Description
In this richly illustrated 1902 work, explore notable sites around peripheral London via one of the trendiest vehicles at the turn of the twentieth century: the bicycle. Though forerunners of the modern bicycle first appeared as early as the 1810s, and they continued to evolve throughout the nineteenth century (the terrifying "penny-farthing," or high-wheel bicycle of the 1870s is now remembered as a symbol of the late Victorian era), rapid advances in safety technology led to a golden age of cycling in the 1890s and 1900s. On both sides of the Atlantic, bicycling quickly became a favorite pastime, and cyclists enjoyed everything from leisurely tours around the countryside to breakneck races. In Cycle Rides Round London, prolific travel writer Charles George Harper suggests itineraries for bicycle tours, offers descriptions of notable sites along the routes, and even provides maps and information on road conditions, thus offering a unique glimpse of Greater London through the lens of the bygone bicycling craze.
