Summary

Cyclists can discover a plethora of classic two-wheelers, from the elegant high-wheelers of the 1880s to the balloon-tired whitewalls of the 1950s and the sparkly ape-hanger "muscle bikes" of the 1970s. This colorful look back at the history of the bicycle in the United States is sure to elicit admiration for the stark styling of these classic velocipedes, along with fond memories of scraped knees. Manufacturers whose creations are covered include standbys like Schwinn, Huffy, and Columbia, as well as classic makers such as Monark, Roadmaster, Shelby, and others. A special chapter also covers today's retro-cruisers -- bicycles whose combination of nostalgic styling and modern technology help them function as good as they look.
