Summary
Despite a long history of cycling activities in Australia and New Zealand, there is still a sense that the study of this machine and its social impact is in its infancy. In Scorchers, Ramblers and Rovers, Clare S. Simpson keeps the wheels of research rolling by editing the first volume of ASSH Studies to deal exclusively with the history of cycling in Australasia. From biography to manufacturing, to racing and touring, and featuring rarely published images dealing with the cycling phenomenon, the six chapters and appendices in this book represent a microcosm of the endlessly fascinating social history of the bicycle. -- website.
