Bicycle collector and photographer Micahel Embacher will shortly be launching a book containing stunning photographs of his extensive collection of famous bicycles.
Cyclepedia: A Tour of Iconic Bicycle Designs
An homage to the beauty of two wheels, Cyclepedia is a celebration of the best bicycles designed over the past 90 years. Among this unique selection of exemplary bicycles are classic racing bikes that been in such events as the Tour de France, high-tech machines that use the latest in material science and aerodynamics, eccentric bikes designed for specific purposes such as cycling on ice, and rarities that are coveted by serious collectors.
Gift book, reference, inspiration, fun, Cyclepedia will inspire lust and envy in bike nuts, commuting cyclists and design aesthetes everywhere.
I ran across this entirely by accident on the BBC new site, where there is a preview slideshow of some of the amazing, and sometimes downright weird, bikes from the book.
Cyclepedia, available now, is published by Thames & Hudson and will be officially launched on March 16th.
