A Golden Age of Cycling: A Gentleman`s Adventure on Two Wheels, 1924-1933
Full of brilliant imagery, genial quotations and latter-day Victorian idiosyncrasies, `A Golden Age of Cycling` brings to life the timeless and inclusive joys of cycling.Born in Hammersmith in 1879, Charles James Pope was part of the generation of cyclists who cycled in a golden era, the time of pioneer cycling writer Wayfarer and of the Cycle Club. His diaries beautifully describe the adventures of Charles and his brother`s annual holidays and short breaks, each spent cycling from one destination to the next, whilst stopping at various established cycling watering holes for their bread, cheese and a well-earned pint of ale.Wonderfully written and including some brilliant original photography from their journeys, Charles` diaries describe the feeling of being able to travel on the new roads of Britain without the dangers of heavy traffic, and of an age when time moved at a more peaceful pace.
