Be it a speed machine on a banked racing track, a heavy black roadster on the streets of Calcutta, or a recumbent cruising the boardwalks of coastal California, the bicycle is poetry on wheels.

All over the world bikes have withstood the test of time—and the invention of the automobile—as an irrepressible reminder of the beauty of human-powered transportation. However, cycle design has become rather narrow in its vision, with little interest in new thinking. Surfacing now is a revival of interest in alternatives, a new imaginativeness in the design and manufacture of cycles and accessories.

Encycleopedia features revolutionary inventors, designers and engineers who are trying to change the world for the better by offering real, practical transportation alternatives. Brought together in this unique buyer's guide, complete with manufacturer's profiles and contact information, these bicycles offer the very latest in cutting-edge, human-powered transportation, and Encycleopedia tells you how to find them.

A one-of-a-kind collection of the latest innovations in bicycle design and accessories, Encycleopedia is the only resource of its kind. Enjoy the ride!
