Velo: Bicycle Culture and Design
Velo: Bicycle Culture and Design

Cycling culture blend with art, design, innovation.

If cycling is more than just a mode of transportation to you—if it's part of your identity—then "Velo" is going to resonate with you on a different level. This book isn't just about the bikes; it's a deep dive into the subculture of cycling, showcasing the innovative designers, artists, and riders who transform this two-wheeled passion into a breathtaking gallery of creativity and craftsmanship. Whether you're a casual rider, a professional, or someone interested in the intersection of cycling and design, "Velo" offers inspiration that could very well influence your next ride or artistic project.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Velo introduces a wild bunch of passionate cyclists – frame builders, urban planners, artists, photographers, and those who ride professionally – who are making an impact. They are not only shaping styles, but promoting cycling as a primary form of transport. The book also explores the aesthetic of today’s cycling culture and presents custom-made frames and art bikes as well as a selection of contemporary illustration and design influenced by the cycling movement. Geared toward anyone who has a personal or professional interest in cycling, Velo is the fast lane into a current topic that is both entertaining and socially relevant.
