Book Reviews of The American Bicycle

Book Review: great photos
Summary: 5 Stars

Though not a comprehensive study it is more a tour of the unique. It shows the more unusual bicycles, which is exactly what I fancy. What this book does show that I have never seen before is wooden bicycles! I love this. There are other books that will cover Scwhinn, etc. What I would have liked to have seen is the all plastic ten speed and other unusual entries from the 70's and 80's. As a former collector, restorer, and bike lover I am buying th book and making a wooden bike.
