The carefully crafted text places the bicycles in their historical context and provides important information about the respective manufacturers as well as key figures from business and sport. Florian Freund reveals many new insights into well-known companies such as Opel and Adler, and also introduces a number of previously little-researched companies. All in all, this results in a richly illustrated and comprehensive history of the German bicycle industry and an important contribution to the history of bicycles in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
