Verlag: London: Dean & Son., 1893

First edition. Octavo. Publisher's original paper-covered boards with illustration of a bicycle and titles in red and black to the upper board, titles in black to the spine, and advertisement in black to the lower board. 103pp. + 39pp. of cycling records and illustrated advertisements at the front and rear. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some wear to the paper covering the spine, as well as to the spine ends, corners and extremities. The contents with the publication date added in ink to the foot of the title page are otherwise in very good order throughout. An uncommon late nineteenth-century guide to cycling by the racing cyclist and pioneer of British cycling George Lacy Hillier (1856-1941) and champion tricyclist W. G. H. Bramson. Chapters include: the birth of the cycle; how to ride a cycle; dress; the racing path; touring; hints on training; cycling for ladies; juvenile cycling; and tyres, along with some wonderfully illustrated contemporary cycle-related advertisements.
