Come to our potluck Thursday, May 11th at 7:30pm! David Herhily, author of "Bicycle: The History" will be here to talk about his book and sign autographs. He will also share information about the new book he's working on. What a story. You'll be so amazed.

"The author's vivid account of the bicycle story could not be more detailed if Herlihy himself had personally lived through every experience he recounts. Each chapter is filled with eye-catching illustrations and photographs spanning nearly two centuries, and colorful sidebars like "The Velocipede in the Service of Love" and "Women and the Velocipede" add character to the often technical, textbook-style prose. In uncovering interesting characters like 1860's racer James Moore, who predicted bicycles would soon be "as common in homes as umbrellas," and documenting hundreds of little known facts, Herlihy takes what could have been just another history book and makes it a story worth telling your friends about."
