The Cycling Pioneers [PDF Edition]

This is the PDF download version – there’s also a paper version.

Cycle through time as Dr Michael Toohey uncovers the pioneers of New Zealand’s cycling history. Blacksmiths become bikers and circus hi-jinks ensue as the humble bicycle trundles from laufmaschine to the pedal-pushers we know today. From the first cycling competitions to tight-rope circus performances, bicycle mania captured the imagination of everyday New Zealanders from the 1860s and beyond.
