About this product
Product Information
Showcasing more than 250 designers from around the world, including craftspeople (many of them renowned bicycle makers), manufacturers and associated organisations, this book dedicates hundreds of pages to beautiful bike designs, illuminating the latest modern trends in specialist bicycle craftmanship. Set out with detailed, distinctive design dialogues from each craftsperson or manufacturer, we learn how wood and bamboo are being enhanced and developed as extremely durable, aesthetically appealing materials, and which are considered sustainable, ecologically viable, user friendly and dynamic across each application. Beautifully illustrated, with historical references and texts by experts in the trade, and backed up with technical engineering knowledge, 'The Wooden Bicycle' is a handy reference for those who have a true passion for the beauty and aesthetics of the modern bicycle in the wooden form, and a strong belief in a more sustainable way of living. AUTHOR: Kiriakos Iosifidis is a writer and editor of works dealing with topics such as the art of public mural painting, and bicycle use and design. Selected works include 'Color of the Cities, On the Road, Chromopolis: Another Aspect of Culture, Mural Art, from Graffiti to Trompe l'oeil, Bikeart,' and 'The Bicycle in Greece, 1880-2012.' In Greece he is the coordinator of Urbanact and Bikeart.gr, two groups that aim to promote public mural art and the use of bicycle through varied activities, such as festivals, special school programs, exhibitions, contests and competition activities, civil projects, among many others. The connection between these themes is the active use of open public space and the urban street environment.

I did not want to leave a negative review since I was able to return the book and received full refund but it was a nuisance! I specifically asked the seller if the book was indeed the book pictured and they confirmed. I asked for them to pack well. I received the wrong edition of the book and it was packed only in a plastic bag (the kind you send clothes in!) The book of course arrived damaged, torn - not in a as new as advertised. Will not be buying again from this seller! Buyers beware!
