Out of printRideThe story of cycling in New Zealand, from 1860 to 2004. Published 2004. Sold out Not current plans to reprint.
The cycle carries the scholar to school; the workman to his daily toil; the clerk to his counting-house; and the merchant and professional man to their places of business. The doctor visits his patients and the minister his flock by the same ready means of locomotion ... A generation of horses has arisen whose attitude towards the modern "safety" is suggestive of the familiarity that breeds contempt. The very dogs have recognised the futility of running after and barking at a couple of swiftly-revolving wheels that soon leave them panting in the rear. New Zealand Cyclists' Touring Club Gazette, 1899. RIDE
