Bicycles not only provide an efficient means of transportation for millions of people worldwide, they're also great fun to ride & build! There are many designs and styles of modern bicycles on the market today.
There are also many styles that were once fashionable that can and should be built again. From tricycles and tandems to modern recumbent designs, this CD has got a little something for all.
You'll find a large document about modern bicycle building including information on tricycles, tandems and velocopedes as well as another huge document about building bicycles and tricycles & still another document detailing construction of a large bicycle shed.
For the bicycle enthusiast, bike builder and rider, this is a great set of information.

MODERN BUILDING BICYCLES TRICYCLES TANDEMS VELOCOPEDES
When it comes to fun, efficient transportation, nothing beats a bicycle. They've been around for a very long time and have truly changed very little. Perhaps the materials used to build bicycles now are a bit more exotic than in the past, but the idea is still the same.
This is a wonderful digital document that originates from 1897, a highlight of cycle history. It's just packed with construction details described fully and it contains over 300 illustrations to drive the points home.
This is a document that you cannot do without if you build or ride bicycles, tricycles or other human powered vehicles.

THE ART OF BUILDING BICYCLES AND TRICYCLES - HUGE!
Bicycles and tricycles are among the most efficent of man-made machines. They can easily get a rider from point A to point B using the least amount of energy to propel the rider the furthest. Amazing contraptions indeed and this digital document is full with over 500 pages of detailed text, illustrations and tables that detail many styles of cycle.
If you have an interest in building bicycles, whether modern day or models from the 1800's, this is a document you must have! With all the details of constructing cycles in this book, you'll find a project or two that'll get you dreaming of rolling down the street in that bike YOU made!

BICYCLE BIKE SHED SAFE DRY SECURE STORAGE SHED PLANS
Â
The problem, how to house one or more cycles, often gives trouble to the occupiers of small premises. The hall-way, which in many cases has to serve as stable, is sadly obstructed by the handles of a machine; and if one is kept there, the reason generally is that no other storage is available.
If accommodation is needed permanently for two or three cycles belonging to the house, and occasionally for the machine of a visitor, and if room is obtainable in a backyard or garden in direct communication with the road, the question of constructing a really durable and practical cycle shed is well worth consideration.
I say constructing, because, in the first place, a bought shed costing the same money would probably not be of such good quality as a home-made one; and secondly, because the actual construction, while not offering any serious difficulty, will afford a useful lesson in carpentry.
The shed, once you build it, is 8 feet long over all, 5 feet 6 inches high in front, 5 feet high at the back, 3 feet deep over all, under the roof, which projects 3 inches fore and aft, and 2 inches at each end. It consists of seven parts: two sides, roof, back, front frame and doors, and a bottom in two sections.
