With cities across the country adding miles of bike lanes and building bike-share stations, bicycling is enjoying a new surge of popularity in America. It seems that every generation or two, Americans rediscover the freedom of movement, convenience, and relative affordability of the bicycle. The earliest two-wheeler, the draisine, arrived in Philadelphia in 1819 and astonished onlookers with the possibility of propelling themselves "like lightning".

Excellent history of the bike
Revisado: 06-16-17
This is a definitive history of the bike. The author takes a straightforward approach that might be a bit too academic for some. Nonetheless I found it entertaining and informative. I learned a lot. The author does a good job of illustrating how the bike changed our culture.
