A Golden Age of Cycling

Descriere

The Diaries of Charles James Pope, 1924-1933. Charles James Pope was born in 1879 in Hammersmith, London. This was a time before the advent of the motor car, when the roads and streets of Britain were still used by horses and cycles. The diaries cover the 1920s and 1930s and feature brilliant imagery, genial quotations and latter-day Victorian idiosyncrasies. This book brings to life the timeless and inclusive joys of cycling, and beautifully describe the adventures of Charles and his brother's annual cycling holidays each spent cycling from one destination to another.
