Velo

Velo is a striking visual journey into the multifaceted world of cycling.

This book introduces a wild bunch of passionate cyclists - frame builders, urban planners, artists, photographers, designers, and those who ride professionally - who are making an impact. They are not only shaping styles, but promoting cycling as a primary form of transport in the urban environment, across the country, and around the world. Velo also explores the aesthetic of today's cycling culture and presents sophisticated custom-made frames and astonishingly-shaped art bikes as well as a selection of contemporary illustration and design influenced by the cycling movement.

Cycling is an attitude. It is good for the environment and for those who ride. Geared toward anyone who has a personal predilection for or professional interest in cycling, this book is the fast lane into a current topic that is both entertaining and socially relevant.
