Whether you cycle on a 40 Year Old Virgin “bikcycle”, a trendoid hipster fixie, or a dual suspension Action Man mountain bike, the ride that you pedal is not just a mode of transport, but also an expression of one’s identity. As bike culture continues to grow globally, the book Velo – 2nd Gear: Bicycle Culture and Style explores the trends, equipment, history, relationships and lifestyles associated with a variety of modern bicycle subcultures.
