New book on 200-year history of Cycling in Sydney

A new book, 'Sydney's Cycling Communities' provides a 200-year history of cycling in Sydney.

The book provides accounts of the first Dandy Horse riders in 1830, the controversial existence of a cranked bike in 1845, identifies the first cyclists in Australia, racing women in 1869, club formation, bike businesses, bicycle use as a barrier to social inclusion, and even the sexist 90-year ban of women's racing.

If ordering online, I suggest Booktopia.

I also strongly suggest picking up a copy for only $30 from either Ashfield Cycles (353 Liverpool Rd, Ashfield NSW 2131. Ph. (02) 9797 9913) or the Resistance Book Shop (4/22-36 Mountain St, Ultimo NSW 2007. Ph 8070 9341).

Call them first to confirm if they have a copy in stock.
