Compiled by renowned cycling journalist Guy Kesteven – who has one of the most remarkable (en)cyclopaedic brains in the bike industry – 1001 bikes to dream of riding before you die, as you might have guessed, features 1001 bikes. There’s a split between road bikes, mountain bikes, BMX bikes and all the odd stuff that can’t really be categorised. Like the odd looking Rickshaws used in Asia to transport small houses or entire flocks of birds, each in their own cage.
It’s a fascinating book and there is plenty to learn in here – It will no doubt trigger a few smiles and memories if you’ve been riding for more than a decade, and will also earn you valuable pub knowledge to impress your fellow riders.
We say
If you ride bikes and have even the slightest bit of bike geek about you, then you need this book in your life. It’s a brilliant resource and will teach even the most knowledgeable cyclist a thing or two. Except Guy of course, who probably plucked the list from the top of his head. He’s weirdly brilliant like that.
Right now, the book is on offer for just £16 on Amazon. Get involved!
