Thirty years of hunting them down and collecting has resulted in one of the most impressive early bike collections in the world. It includes 160 pre-1900 bicycles, including hobby horses, boneshakers and Penny Farthings, as well as early 20th-century models. The collection charts the development of the bicycle, which foreshadows the invention of the motor car in many surprising ways. It also shows wider social change and the role the bicycle has played in female emancipation, war and its progression from plaything of the wealthy to utilitarian mode of transport of the masses.

Life and Death

Author: Bridie O¿Donnell
Publisher: Slattery Media Group
ISBN: 9781921778674
Category : Rugby League football
Languages : en
Pages : 156

Book Description
Life and Death: a cycling memoir, is the story of that triumph. It is also the tale of the backbreaking hard work it took to get there-the audacity of O'Donnell's late arrival in a brutally tough sport, the physical grind of training and the mind games of team selection, the rejections, the disappointments, the sorrows and the personal upheavals it took for Bridie O'Donnell to finally take her bow as a world-beater. Life and Death will inspire both women and men who've given up on their sporting ambitions. It also gives a warts-and-all account of the real lives of professional cyclists. Pedalling through the picturesque alpine regions of Italy, barked at by sadistic and uncaring team managers, and persevering when most would have thrown in the towel, O'Donnell provides an unflinching portrait of the life of an Australian woman in the professional peloton. A trailblazing athlete and doctor, Bridie O'Donnell is now the head of Victoria's newly-established Office for Women in Sport, and a regular guest on the Network Ten television show The Project-a public profile that makes her a leading Australian voice on women's sport and health issues. Upon its release, O'Donnell will be promoting Life and Death in a range of mainstream media outlets.
