“…fascinating new book The Bicycle – A Miscellany on Two Wheels (ACC Art Books), which explores the cultural impact of over 200 years of cyclingIn the tome, you’ll discover ‘how this remarkable machine has been cycled for pleasure, put to work, sent to war and ridden very fast to set records’.” -- Ted Thornhill, Daily Mail;
Peter Ashley is an aficionado of British culture, responsible for the Unmitigated England trilogy, Preposterous Erections (his book on folly towers) and London Peculiars (one of the first books in ACC Art Books' bestselling London series).

country unique, as Jonathan Meades has said, "He is the gatekeeper to
several generations' memories."
