In just over a century the humble bicycle has covered the world at a rate more rapidly than almost any other technological advance. From the poorest to richest nations, the bicycle is the brilliant product of mans ingenuity that will always be seen as the most efficient means of travel.

The humble chain driven bicycle has barely changed since it appeared towards the end of the late nineteenth century. It has seen all the other great inventions come and many of them go…but it is still here.

The great survivor has seen through revolutions, wars, famines and floods. So what if it could speak? What would it say about us? What would it say about the moments when we think we are all alone with our bicycle?

This collection of short stories gives the reader an insight into what could be the thoughts of our most enduring invention. Maybe that collection of tubes, cogs, nuts and bolts has a heart as well? Imagined moments from history, accounts of amazing rides and tender moments between man and machine; they're all here.

Enjoy the Ride!
