From the earliest “velocipedes” through the advent of the pneumatic tire to the rise of modern road and track competition, this history of the sport of bicycle racing traces its role in the development of bicycle technology between 1868 and 1903. Providing detailed technical information along with biographies of racers and other important personalities, the book explores this thirty-year period of early bicycle history as the social and technical precursor to later developments in the motorcycle and automobile industries.From Velocipedes to Boneshakers Historians disagree about the invention of the
bicycle, and many dates are challenged. It is most likely that no individual
qualifies as the inventor and that the bicycle evolved through the efforts of many.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this first broadly focused compensatory history of technology not only includes women's contributions but begins the long-overdue task of redefining technology and significant technology and to value these contributions correctly. Stanley traces women's inventions in five vital areas of technology worldwide--agriculture, medicine, reproduction, machines, and computers--from prehistory (or origin) forward, profiling hundreds of women, both famous and obscure. The author does not ignore theory. She contributes a paradigm for male takeovers of technologies originated by women.THE BICYCLE IS BORN Like many of the world's greatest inventions, the
machine that gave rise to what we now know as ... The Laufmaschine—also
called the draisine, velocipede, or dandy horse—quickly caught on, sparking a
