A bicycle is a classic design, and the basic principles on which it works – of power-to-weight ratios and centrifugal force – haven't changed, no matter how computer-model and millied the parts are. The basic concept of a body born through space freely, with the aid of nothing but a crank, two wheels and arms and legs, remains poetically unchanged, what better way to see the world?" Minor rubbing of the book corners and back strip corners. Ruffling of the dustwrapper edges and rubbing of the panels. Full number line. Size: Landscape Octavo. [7], 8 - 320 pages,.
