The "indispensable" bicyclist's handbook; a complete cyclopaedia on the subject
The Indispensable Bicyclist's Handbook, a complete cyclopaedia on bicycling, was compiled by Henry Sturmey and published in Coventry by Iliffe and Son in 1881 for riders and enthusiasts of the early bicycle. Its pictures are plain line engravings of cycle parts and machines, including a front fork with a fitting, a saddle, a high-wheeled portable bicycle and a small mechanical device, offering a designer period machine forms and simple technical diagram styling.
