Celebrating 50 remarkable bicycle designs that reveal the artistry and engineering behind an object we often take for granted, this book features classic road bikes, daring racing machines, rugged mountain models and visionary experimental concepts.

From its 19th-century origins to today’s cutting-edge innovations, the bicycle has continually evolved to reflect cultural shifts, technological progress and aesthetic ideals. Along with the racing classic Schwinn Paramount and China’s Flying Pigeon, which became a symbol of the post-Revolutionary era, there is also the Moulton AM Series, an icon of Swinging Sixties London, and the Italian racing manufacturer Bianchi's Rekord 745, as well as many more.

Beauty of Everyday Objects

This small-format, accessible design series celebrates humble, ordinary objects that we interact with every day – the functional and beautiful things that spark joy. Each book features 50 design products that have altered the way we live, work and think.
