Excerpt from Pleasure-Cycling
Have been accustomed to use their own nu assisted legs and lungs. When the bicycle has fairly taken its place as the popular vehicle of the day, the roads and highways must be adapted to it, and there will no longer be room for the reproach, now too true, that the common highways of the United States are vastly inferior to those of England and the continent of Europe.1.

July 8, 2022What a surprisingly fun read!
It's a bit nostalgic to a time when bicycles ruled the roads before cars came along and undoubtedly full of advice that no longer applies to the machine or rider now. That said, there is plenty for a modern-day bicycle enthusiast to get out of this book.
As a primary source for the late 19th century and cycling, this is full of insights.
