Description
The immediate forerunner of the bicycle, the velocipede inspired a cultural craze in late 1860s France that reflected changing cultural attitudes and challenged gender norms. Velocipedomania is the first in-depth study of this fad and the popular culture it inspired, including translations and illustrations from rare texts.
