- This book examines the development of cycling both as a leisure and sporting activity since the 19th century and explores the wider political and cultural context in which cycling in Britain emerged. The book is 150,000 words in length and took eight years to write and research. Its research has been mainly centred on the vast National Cycling Archive held at the University of Warwick’s Modern Record Centre, but it also incorporates numerous files from the National Archives and other archives. It also draws on a substantial range of newspapers, reports, films and magazines.
