A fabulous cycling novel by H.G. Wells
H.G. Wells' 'The Wheels of Chance', one of the great cycling novels of all time, chronicles the life of a day-dreaming draper's assistant who embarks on a bicycle tour of the English countryside. It was written at the peak of the Golden Age of the Bicycle (1890-1905), just before the rise of that modern monster — the automobile! Text / Where have all the bicycle novels gone?
